Why? Attention deficit, hyperactivity, disorder. It lists the 2 core symptoms of the disorder in the name. If you'd prefer, you can bundle it all up under 'executive dysfunction', but people already do. It's a synonym for adhd

I agree because there are so many different symptoms that are often ignored or unknown to be a part of ADHD. Also Attention Deficit isn't accurate. It's more of focusing on other things which is nuerodivergence.
