I'm so sorry to hear that.
It is definitely misdiagnosed a lot. Some have it and a doctor thinks some random testing says they don't and others don't have it but it is the 'easy' diagnosis.
You definitely don't have to be hyperactive to ave ADHD (although that is fery common in children). The stimulant meds can works wonder for people who have this, but for those who don't and get placed on stims it is not always going to come out well.
