Often, not always: Adhd is a spectrum disorder. Clusters of symptoms fall at all different places along the spectrum. Someone with "add", now technically, albeit confusingly, called "adhd, inattentive subtype" often still has some hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms. The diagnosis indicates that their symptoms and their impairments arise predominantly, not exclusively, from the inattentive cluster of symptoms.
