From pg 2 of a 1997 paper by Barkley:

“Poor behavioral inhibition is specified as the central deficiency in ADHD. “

http://data.psych.udel.edu/abelcher/Shared%20Documents/4%20Developmental%20Psychopathology%20and%20Risk%20%2824%29/Barkley,%201997.pdf

In the CADDAC videos Barkley explains behavioral inhibition means impulse control.

I think it is nearly impossible that Dr. Jain would not be aware of this, yet earlier this year he goes on record in court to say that a man that was diagnosed with ADHD probably has impulsivity instead of ADHD. This is a man that was satisfied with the diagnosis, and did not go to Dr. Jain for a second opinion. I’ve also read through the DSM, and can’t find a disorder for impulsivity. The closest thing I can find is Intermittent Explosive Disorder, but that can only be diagnosed when ADHD has specifically been ruled out.
