Type 3 ADHD is a type of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that is characterized by a combination of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. This type of ADHD may manifest itself differently from other types of ADHD, and is generally considered to be the most challenging type of ADHD to diagnose and manage.

Finally, individuals with Type 3 ADHD may also show signs of hyperactivity. They may be constantly in motion, fidgeting or pacing around. They may also talk excessively and display difficulty sitting still.

Overall, Type 3 ADHD is a type of ADHD that is characterized by a combination of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although it can be challenging to manage, it is important to find strategies that work for the individual in order to help them manage their symptoms.

"What is the difference between Type 3 ADHD and the other types?"

Type 3 ADHD, also known as late-onset ADHD, is a diagnosis given to individuals who develop symptoms of ADHD after the age of 12. This type of ADHD is distinguished from other types because it is often associated with a traumatic experience or physical injury, rather than genetic predisposition. Symptoms of Type 3 ADHD can include impulsivity, difficulty focusing, and hyperactivity.
