Folks with ADHD, how did you feel when the acronyms shifted, and instead of having and , now the "correct" term is ADHD?

When I was diagnosed in 2000, it was largely because they'd finally discovered that ADD without hyperactivity was a thing, and that girls/women presented as inattentive more often than hyperactive (thus why they were often overlooked). It still feels inaccurate every time I write "ADHD" in reference to myself (yet I often get corrected if I use "ADD").
