>>My child was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD, to a T, at age 8. Sometimes I think ADD is a type of anxiety, much like OCD is a type of anxiety (as well as PTSD), a malfunction of brain circuitry. Some people who I know with ADD are very OCD (I don't think of OCD primarily as the common belief of washing hands excessively, etc. People can have the O without the C.<<

This may be the clearest and most accurate few words I've ever read on the subject! My ADHA dx came about because I was being treated for severe anxiety with obsessional thinking (the O w/o the C) and it's very clear to me that the two are intertwined -- a combination of brain "wiring" and early environmental / experiential factors.
