Actually, there is a sub group of the ADHD-Inattentive group that are increasingly seen as not ADHD at all. The term used is Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggish_cognitive_tempo). As ADHD is a spectrum disorder, there is also more thought into the importance of the hyperactive element. Perhaps the presence of hyperactivity is more an indication of severity and less of a separate subtype.
Perhaps what Anitanorris meant was “I am ADHD-Combined type and my friend is SCT.” That would make for a very odd pairing indeed.
