ADHD is when you are uncontrolably hyper either all the time or it can come in little "hyper spells" is what I call them. ADD is when you can't pay attention to one this for very long and you just randomly trail off in the middle of a conversation to something totally different without even finishing the previous conversation. Like this: if you were talking about shoes or something..
"I think I want the black ones because...did you know that I will be 20 in March?"
see how the conversation just trails randomly into something different?

It means that you have trouble paying attention and focusing (but can be fixed by medication if you have ADD). ADHD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It means that you have trouble paying attention and focusing, and you're also extremely hyper. It can also be fixed with medication if you have it. I've never taken an ADD test before, but here's some info on it: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). There's some info about the different ways of diagnosing ADD and ADHD.

add means you loss attention and adhd means you are MAJOR HYPER
allishow answered Wednesday February 21 2007, 7:56 pm: the test isn't TOO crazy. and not much of a difference. but add is where you can't focus or pay attention. and adhd means you cant focus, pay attention and you are incredibly hyper. so. yehh.

ADHD is when you cannot concentrate for long periods of time, and easily distracted.
Sevvi012 answered Wednesday February 21 2007, 7:00 pm: I dunno what the test is like, but I know what each of the things are. ADD is where you can't control your attention span...You'd be talking to someone, and you'd see something that attracts your eye and you would follow that thing. ADHD is where you can't sit still or stand still for long periods of time. [ Sevvi012's advice column | Ask Sevvi012 A Question ]
