I think everyone has some of the AD/HD symptoms. Everyone can be distractible at times. And everyone can get restless. I think the official DSM says that you have to have 6 out of the 9 symptoms to be diagnosed and they have to significantly impact three areas of your life (school/work, personal time, etc).
