A.D.H.D.(Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) -
A.D.D.(Attention Deficit Disorder) -
A.A.D.D.(Adult Attention Deficit Disorder)
All fall medically under the title "A.D.H.D." A.A.D.D and A.D.D are not technically correct terminology as far as the definitions of the disorder is concerned.
All variations are categorized as a "behavioral disorders".
All forms of A.D.H.D. are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you're not in America check with your local government to see if they consider A.D.H.D. a disability.
Answer
Not at all. ADHD can affect the way a person concentrates or processes information. This would mean more one on one attention and frequent breaks.
In the mind of most individuals who have ADHD, information can be difficult to organize and upon retrieval it can be frustrating due to having the right information but in wrong organization, meaning a person may know the answer to a question asked on a test, but doesn't understand how to express it or write it down. When a time restraint is put on the person, he or she can feel overwhelmed due to this.
There are easier distractions, but it doesn't mean they're not paying attention. This person must always have their mind stimulated and be physically stimulated. Try to overcome this, how I describe it, is like having a cold chill and wanting to shiver, but try to hold back... it just makes it worse and more frustrating. It takes years to learn how to use it in your advantage and how to organize the information in the brain.
Many of your greatest thinkers and inventors have had ADHD but didn't know anything different. Get an IQ test done on this individual and see were they really sit on intelligence, results may be shocking.
I have grown up clinically diagnosed with ADHD and never been on meds. My IQ is at 132 and I learned how to love learning and found out that the public school and college does not move as quickly as I do and that was my issue. The only problem that I have and see other people with ADHD have is issues with holding a job because they get bored and need another to keep interested.
ADHD can be a blessing or a curse... but it's definitely not a learning disability!
