If you go to the web page below, it will give you a very understandable explanation of the different types of ADHD.They compare each type to a different Winnie the Pooh character. I'm a cross between rabbit and tigger.Hope this helps(^_^)

You have trouble sitting still; have trouble paying attention to 1 thing for more than like 5 minutes or so unless you are really interested in something..like sports. You keep very busy&move around a lot. It's hard to listen in class or do homework. Sometimes getting help from someone helps. You do better working with 1 other person.You get impatient when in a restaurant with your family.You may take longer to do math or reading.You get fidgety&like to move around a lot.You might fight with your brothers&sisters.Have temper tantrums. Get worked up easily.It is usually diagnosed or figured out if you have it by taking different tests given to you by a psychologist. There are no right or wrong answers.Hope that helps.
