do you need to have the full symptoms to be an adhd or if you have some of the characteristic of adhd then you have adhd? im not moving slow i can move fast like normal people and i have to talk a bit slow so people could understand me better, and when im reading a long article and such like on the pc I play around with the cards just to keep my hands busy...

No one can tell you for sure. Best bet is to see a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist. There are different subtypes to adhd, but some of the test you take out of books such as driven to distraction or delivered from distraction are some of the simple self tests they can use if your pondering seeing someone. There are two batches of symptoms and you go through and check of the ones you may or may not have. At the end it tells you if it is a possibility and if you should seek help. There are also tests on the internet or here on PC. Take you luck at one see what turns up.

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).

also, if its restlessness in only certain situations, that as maus said comes and goes, then it is probably not ADHD... that doesn't mean that there is some underlying issue... anxiety, depression, the time of the month for females... all can impair concentration at times.

ADD is a variation of ADHD. There's none of the hyperactivity so you could have that.
