For these problems to be diagnosed as ADHD, they must be out of the normal range for the child's age and development. It is not like ADHD when you are VERY hyper and VERY talkitivw. You just cant pay attention. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) divides the symptoms of ADHD into those of inattentiveness and those of hyperactivity and impulsivity.
