I came to the conclusion that impulsivity is not a symptom of ADD/ADHD but a consequence. Let me explain:
My main issue with ADD is that important thoughts (todos, dates, deadlines, promises, ...) never come up unless triggered somehow. Now, when any important thought comes up in my unreliable brain I have two choices:
act immediately
dismiss the thought, possibly forever
Note: ADD/ADHD is a real disorder in the brain's metabolism and not a popculture phenomenon. If you think you might be affected, contact a neurology clinic for diagnosis, medication and supportive therapy. I have been diagnosed twice by independent doctors.
