While this is true:

>>Hyperactivity, Inattentiveness, and impulsivity are the three possible requirements<<

Trust me – it can also mean something else. I’ve been through multiple proverbial ringers lately for diagnosis of multiple things going on.

While yes, all do finally agree ADHD to the max, my research and questioning everyone I talk to say those three can ALSO be symptoms of some of the other stuff going on with me. Just that in my case, a lot of other indicators that don’t fit other problems all added up.

In short – ask a doctor – those three alone don’t guarantee an ADD diagnosis, but do prompt good doctors to do a full battery of tests to rule out other things that could be causing those exact same three.
