No it's not. ADHD is a developmental disorder that affects the prefrontal cortex, which controls executive function. Attention deficit and hyperactivity are poor descriptors of the disorder, and lead to a lot of misconceptions about it.

To correct your analogy, calling it ADHD is like referring to all automobiles as dirt bikes.
