I would disagree on just one of those, ADHD literally stands for attention deficit hyperactive disorder, so if you're not hyperactive, you don't have ADHD, you have ADD. Which can still be valid!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DSM5 requires struggling in school (well struggle during a young schooling age).

That said, those with many characteristics, me, benefit from understanding why certain things are more difficult and adopting ADHD coping techniques.

Edit: specifically referring to the diagnosis and not identity

The result of the symptoms could be struggling in school, but it doesn't have to be is my understanding
