OK,first of all, does it depress anyone else that so many people thought you were talking about the mathematical operation? People's standards have gotten so low they just expect you to know so little about both grammar and math that you would ask that and mean addition.
Moving on, ADD is short for Attention Deficit Disorder. It is a separate, though closely related, problem from ADHD. I personally have severe ADD. There are days when I can't keep a thought in my head, but I have never been hyperactive. Left to my own devices I'll lay around and read, watch TV, or nap all day. That's why I'm not ADHD.
Symptoms of ADD include being easily distracted, forgetting things easily, being unable to concentrate even when you try, and being too impulsive. Since these are all pretty subjective qualities, and most kids have them to some degree, at least from an adult's point of view, a lot of kids are misdiagnosed with ADD. (To quote my brother's pediatrician, many years ago: "He's not ADD. He's just obnoxious because he's eight.") Unfortunately, some people assume that if some kids are misdiagnosed, they all must be, and that ADD isn't real. The real test of ADD is how severely it impacts your life. To be considered ADD, your symptoms must cause you significant problems at home and at school.
Oddly enough, considering the way we bounce from thought to thought, ADD is treated with stimulants. Ritalin and similar drugs stimulate the part of the brain responsible for self-discipline and concentration, enabling it to rein in the rest of the brain for up to eight hours at a time.
A lot of kids learn to cope with ADD without medication as they grow up, which led to the belief that they grew out of ADD at puberty. This idea began to be challenged about 20 or 30 years ago (I think), and now it's generally accepted that ADD is forever, but that you can train yourself to function normally without medication.

Attention Deficit Disorder.
I wouldn't consider it a disorder because it's not genetics, but it means that you have a problem paying attention.
