> Backing this one up with my own experience of ADD (I was never hyperactive):
I'd like to add also that a lot of people without ADD/ADHD think "hyperactivity" must be stereotypical "hyperactive annoying brat that acts out", something that is still haunting diagnosis in Poland.
Meanwhile a lot of people sorta "channel" the hyperactivity in different ways - I personally have tendency to do all sorts of stimming-like behaviours that are pretty much "designed" to not make a mess where I am, or purely mental stuff, then "acting out" physically a bit when I am completely in private.
Unless of course I could hit the right kind of tasks to do that nicely slot exactly where my ADHD shines (Flying airplanes is wonderful)
