Nobody's attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder.
But lots of people are attention deficit / hyperactivity disordered. Or for short, lots of people are ADHD.

Heh.
Well, for a lot of neurodivergent people it's actually a part of who we are, not a condition we have, so even though you might not like it doesn't mean it's wrong. Personally I hate people telling me that I have autism and ADHD. I am both those things.
This article explains it quite well and even though it's about autistic people it goes for ADHD people as well.
