ICD-10 code: F98. 80 Attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence.
F90. 2 — Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, combined type.
ADHD is the official, medical term for the condition — regardless of whether a patient demonstrates symptoms of hyperactivity. ADD is a now-outdated term that is typically used to describe inattentive-type ADHD, which has symptoms including disorganization, lack of focus, and forgetfulness.
F90. 0 (ADHD, predominantly inattentive type): Some level of hyperactivity-impulsivity may be present in these individuals; however, the majority of symptoms must be associated with inattention.
Not only is “ADHD without hyperactivity” (ADHD of the predominantly inattentive type) an awkward locution, but it also tries to squeeze ADD into a box in which it does not belong. The term ADHD should be reserved for when hyperactivity is present (as the term implies), regardless of whether inattention is also present.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) does not provide criteria for ADD.
The unspecified ADHD category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for the ADHD or for a specific neurodevelopmental disorder and includes presentation in which there is insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis.
The APA named it Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), with or without hyperactivity. In a revised third edition in 1987, the standard name was changed from ADD to ADHD. The DSM-IV in 1994 refined the diagnosis.
ADD is an outdated term. It was once used to describe people who have difficulty focusing on tasks or generally paying attention whereas ADHD was used to describe people with trouble focusing compounded by hyperactivity symptoms.
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is an outdated term for what experts now call attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The F98.8 states onset occurring in childhood not thatbit cannot be used for an adult. You may need to appeal with documentation. But you cannot assign F90.0 without the documentation to support it.
In addition, the 2016 book does include the indicator that F98.8 is a pediatric only code; however this has been removed in 2017. Again, I'm guessing it is because the code descriptor for F98.8 states the condition "usually originates in childhood or adolescents," not that the patient is be a child/adolescent.
