> It's interesting because as a kid I got diagnosed with ADD, and my sibling who was more physically hyperactive got diagnosed with ADHD. My parents thought, and thus I did also for a long time that the 'h' difference was due to his physical energy, but it seems unrelated.

These days they don't draw a distinction any more. There are different presentations of ADHD, but it's all the same disorder.

> I want to again stress there was no malice behind my question, just interest in trying to relate through my own experiences. Thank you again for answering.

No worries, sorry for reacting negatively! I've had a lot of people assume that ADHD is not a thing at all, and it gets exhausting having to explain it. I pattern matched on your comment too aggressively.
