Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD

Can anyone tell me if (untreated) adult ADHD has any connection, in any way, with passive-aggressiveness? I've just noticed the similarities (with striking exactness) in my husband with this.

I notice the passive agressive behavior when he perceives that someone has slighted him. Or toward people who intimidate him (even those he seems to like and respect), when he is afraid to confront them directly. Actually, i have realized that behavior in myself at times, when I fear direct confrontation. Ugh.
