Your observation could mean that overdiagnosis is a thing around you.

I have a close family member with actual attention deficit and extreme hyperactivity.

You cannot mistake it with normal bored kid.

It's like his brain works at 100% intensity all the time.

When you walk with him through the town, he has to touch every door knob, climb every tree, look into every single car, peep into every hole. In a room he finds new object so interesting that he absolutely has to investigate it, for like 30 seconds and then finds another thing and another and another. 24/7. You see his body is tired, almost falling asleep, but his brain won't stop, he keeps finding new distractions he can't ignore.

You would never mistake it for just a regular bored kid.
