Читать книгу Women With Attention Deficit Disorder: Embrace Your Differences and Transform Your Life - Sari Boone's Solden - Страница 20

It seems that the official labels used by the professional community to diagnose Attention Deficit Disorder change every few years, thereby confusing many people in the process of attempting to more accurately describe this syndrome and capture its variations, as well as its core characteristics. Individuals in the professional community may differ on the wisdom of some of the nomenclature, but the general characteristics they are trying to describe stay the same.

To confuse matters further, it is common for many people, especially the general population, to use the terms ADD or AD/HD without differentiating types since it is awkward to specify types in normal conversation.
