ADD ia Attention Deficit Disorder, these people are very busy receiving
input and "thinking" on overload all the time. They can be very quiet. (They
are busy thinking.) ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, these
people think overload and they respond to that overload and calm themselves
by moving. ( They can't sit still, be quiet, ect without supreme effort,
which is actually painful, at least to me.) Both of these people have
concentration problems, either under focus because of distractions by all
the other things they are thinking and receiving input from, or over focus
and intensity on things that don't merit that much importance while
neglecting things that might be more important but don't appeal to the
person, ect. This is a simplified rundown. Hope it answers your question.
Love,
Marsha
