It just rolls of the tongue so much easier than "ADHD". ADD is even easier to type.
I mean, does the H really contribute much? Won't those who are hyperactive consequently be inattentive?
I do understand the different subtypes, but the whole point of an acronym is simplification!
I think "ADD" adequatley gets the point across.
I call for a revision in DSM-V! Who's with me? Anyone here have some clout with the APA?
I'm only half joking ;
