Yes, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is now referred to as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The term ADHD encompasses both the inattentive symptoms previously associated with ADD and the hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. The change reflects a broader understanding of the disorder, which can manifest in different ways, including predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combined presentation.

Can you develop ADD?

NOADD is a condition that one is born with and one will have for the rest of his or her life. But sometimes the ADD is not recognized until later in life. Also, as someone with ADD grows up and matures, he has to develop coping methods for dealing with the disorder and functioning normally in a non-ADD society. This can cause the illusion that ADD is a condition that can develop and that can be 'grown out of.'Ask yourself if this is a recent development; or is this something you've had your whole life, but maybe not noticed it as a problem or condition until now?
