A.D.D

Attention Deficit Disorder

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is an older term that refers to individuals who have challenges with attention, focus, and organization — without the hyperactive or impulsive behaviours seen in ADHD. Today, the official diagnosis is ADHD – Predominantly Inattentive Presentation, but many people still use “ADD” because it feels more accurate for their experience.
