I'm not a doctor, but I am very familiar with ADHD. I've never heard of such a classification.
There are three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive or both. The predominately inattentive subtype relates to people who have trouble focusing on items that aren't of particular interest to them for more than a short period of time. The hyperactive/impulsive subtype refers to a person who can't sit still and control their impulses. Both is, of course, both of these types put together.
Stimulant medicaitons, the kind that is used to treat ADHD most commonly, can be used for each of these three classifications.
