They are not actually distinct, and I don't know where you would have gotten that impression. In fact, ADD is the earlier name for the same disorder. The hyperactive was added and now the name is applicable as "Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder without Hyperactivity". At least that's what the psychologists/psychiatrists I've spoken to about it have told me. The concept is that while the disorder does impact learning, that it is a developmental/behavioural disorder that impacts more than just one's ability to learn and is not classified in the psychological community as a learning disability for that very reason.
I don't have any idea as to why you're of the impression that they are not the same thing and are actually very different.
