Well, I've been dealing with this since before DSM IV. The hyperactivity listed in the ADHD label originally did refer to hyperactive behavior, and it may have been re-defined, but that doesn't make me wrong.
But I'd be interested in reading the wiki. I see no links to it in this thread, except for the initial link which was to a questionable article with no credible sourcing, fact checking or even a listed author name.
If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
BTW, I think there is a cruel irony in redefining the terms associated with an illness, when people who have it have a difficult time paying attention and retaining information.
