I have ADD and curiosity had led me to research it. The problem is, it's always grouped with ADHD which is completely different. To someone with neither, they probably seem the same, but as you know they aren't. I even found this here on Psych Central. The screening test was also more leaned towards ADHD asking questions like, "Do you have trouble sitting still?" "Do you act impulsively?" Someone with ADD does not experience this.

I think ADHD gets a lot more attention because it is more observable to others while ADD is more internal. I am not trying to undermine ADHD. Both ADD and ADHD are hard to cope with, but I think they should be dealt with separatly sometimes.

Am I alone on this?
