There’s two entire halves to ADHD. The hyperactive part is the one people usually know, but the attentive half is the part people aren’t aware of.

Diagnosed myself, predominantly inattentive with bits of hyperactive, mostly fidgeting. Executive dysfunction, issues keeping my train of thought, poor short term memory, motivation issues, and more are the other half.

> mostly fidgeting

Yeah I do this too. Never thought this could be classified as hyperactive.

Here's how it was explained to me once:

1. There is external hyperactivity (like Ace Ventura or any other Jim Carey character)

2. There is internal hyperactivity (Racing thoughts, excessive talking, anxiety-like symptoms, etc.).

Those with ADHD all have hyperactivity, it just manifests differently across the subtypes (ADHD-Predominately Hyperactive, ADHD Predominately Inattentive, and ADHD-Combined).
