Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to get some help with a question about ADHD. Specifically, I am wondering what is Type 5 ADHD? Is it a different type of ADHD than the ones I'm familiar with? Can someone please explain what it is and how it might differ from other types of ADHD? I would really appreciate any help that anyone can offer.
