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!
There’s physically hyperactive, which is what traditionally was used to diagnose, and now mentally hyperactive is also recognized. As a result, three subtypes have been created - hyperactive, inattentive (mentally hyperactive), and combined.
