Having filled out many insurance papers I've seen it most often as  
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (but the DSM states it with  
the hyphen between deficit and hyperactivity) with the sub type  
listed after that.  The subtypes are
Predominately Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
Predominately Inattentive Type
Combined Type.
