For Question 2: ADHD diagnostic criteria recognize three presentations: inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, and combined type. This means meeting criteria for either one of the symptom patterns is sufficient for a diagnosis.
For Question 3: A learning disorder is diagnosed when a person's academic performance in core areas (reading, writing, math) is significantly lower than what is expected based on their age, IQ, and educational opportunities, with other potential causes ruled out.

Answer:

Question 2: either a pattern of inattention or a pattern of hyperactivity and impulsivity
Question 3: performance in reading, writing, or math substantially below the level predicted by the individual's age, IQ, and education.
