I actually am diagnosed with ADD (or ADHD). In fact, I was diagnosed twice, so I'm pretty sure I know I have it.
A lot of people tend to forget that some ADD cases do not mean hyperactivity at all. For me, I have trouble concentrating and may need accommodations (such as more time for tests). It doesn't really affect my behaviour though. It just makes work a bit more difficult. I take longer to complete work compared to other students, and it's really annoying when I require more time to do stuff.
Since it doesn't really have a clear effect on how I behave, my brother thinks I don't really have ADD. Other than that though, I have some very caring parents, so I doubt my ADD was falsely diagnosed twice.
