So I have a character who either has ADD or ADHD but I don't know which to use. I know that there is one type of ADHD which tends to affect focus and executive function more as opposed to hyperactivity. What's the difference between the two?

The big difference you need to know between the two is that “ADD” is no longer a recognized diagnosis in the DSM-5! See here for more info: http://scriptshrink.tumblr.com/post/154477404711/demystifying-the-dsm-v-adhd
