I believe your definition, while lexically correct, is medically outdated. I’ve heard from many many sources that ADD is just no longer a thing. It’s all only ADHD, which is confusing because many many people, especially those who have learned to cope or mask, do not actually present as hyperactive.
Why we haven’t just called it executive functioning disorder already is a mystery to me, because that seems to be the core trait among those who have been diagnosed.
