Both?: Adhd is a condition of poor brain executive management. Emotions are brain products needing management. Combining the appropriate facial expression to voice tone to mood to temperament to body language to expressive fluidity to auditory comprehension are problems for adhd folks. But teens have problems with temperament as well. Probably a rich mixture of both operating together.
