That's my whole basic "speech" when I have to tell someone: "I've got ADD; I don't have the H".

I think in some places they don't use ADD anymore, but I can't really keep up ...

ADD hasn't been used as a diagnosis for a while. It's called the inattentive type ADHD now.

I believe that's no longer a thing and it's all collectively called ADHD these days. At least over here.

Officially it's ADHD-I (inattentive), ADHD-H (hyperactive) and ADHD-C (combined).

But over here even specialists still often just call it ADD. It's less of a mouthful and more well-known. Personally I also use ADD, as it often saves the hassle of having to explain I'm usually not hyperactive.

Yeah I am personally not a fan of the new terminology as it only seems more confusing.

It's because the differences between them are less distinct and the names are just more of an indicator of which side you lean to the most for how it affects you.

Aye, although I like to say that instead of being "hyper" I'm "hypo".

There h is always there, just not always visible on the outside

That’s a great point - my brain is always flippity-flopping but you’d never know it by looking at my RBF
