Of course: Some kids "daydream." other kids daydream sometimes, and run around too much at other times. There are as many "types" of adhd as there are kids.

There are 5 types: According to the dsm-iv-tr there are 5 types of adhd: predominantly hyperactive/impulsive subtype, predominantly inattentive subtype, combined subtype, persistent into adulthood, and not other wise specified. The most common is the inattentive subtype by a wide margin, and is the subtype frequently missed. See http://www.Behavenet.Com/capsules/disorders/adhd.Htm.

Yes: Adhd-primarily inattentive type (ia) replaced add as a diagnosis when research showed that the underlying neurobiological & neurochemical bases were the same as for adhd-combined type, which has significant symptoms of both inattention & hyperactivity/impulsivity.Adhd-ia is the most common type but c or h/i in preschoolers is more commonly referred. Ia is related to academic difficulties.
