I actually like it better to say I am hypoactive. The same condition can sometimes give opposite symptoms and still be the same, sort of. Some people are hyperactive, I am hypoactive.

When I think of it, I also dislike the term ADD, since it is a school diagnosis, like how well can you listen to your teacher. When in fact ADD is about executive functions. I'd rather have it named after that instead.

I take a long time processing things, I do things quite slowly and tire easily. I'm not sure my brain is sluggish though, it really does not feel that way!
Thanks Jimi,

I was also diagnosed with ADHD-PI and I also prefer to say I am hypoactive.

Sluggish and hypoactive are synonyms.

Hypoactivity also makes more sense to me, when I say I was diagnosed with plain ADHD-Primarily Inattentive (without hyperactivity).
