You do not have to be hyperactive to be an adult with attention problems, no way. You just have to be unable to concentrate, follow through on tasks, or be responsable. Just be super distractable, etc. I have a sleep disorder with "ADD" (whatever that is), so you see ritalin helps me stay both awake and concentrate.

They can call any cluster of symptoms or characteristics whatever they like, you know. Sounds like in UK they don't go for this label- but can they recognize the individual characteristics? Don't they ask you about how you function in daily life?
