You dont need to be "hyperactive" to have ADHD.
There are 3 different types of ADHD.
Inactive, Hyperactive/impulsive and Combined.
I was diagnosed with ADHD-C
from wiki
Classification
The DSM-IV, or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000 edition, defines three types of ADHD:
1) An inattentive type
2) A hyperactive/impulsive type
3) A combined type
To meet the formal diagnostic criteria of ADHD, an individual must display:
at least six inattentive-type symptoms for the inattentive-type
at least six hyperactive-type symptoms for the hyperactive/impulsive type
all of the above to have the combined-type
The symptoms (see below) need to have been present since before the individual was seven years old, and must have interfered with at least two spheres of his or her functioning (at home and at school or work, for example) over the last six months.
