[24] Dr. Jain was retained by the Society to provide a critique of Dr. Blouin’s report and opinion. […] Mr. Lyle may well suffer from A.D.H.D. but Dr. Jain’s view was that some of the findings indicated a diagnosis of impulsivity…

So Dr. Jain suggests a DIAGNOSIS of impulsivity rather than ADHD. Can anyone find the criteria for diagnosing impulsivity in the DSM?

As I’ve said before, Dr. Jain knows impulsivity is one of the key criteria to diagnose ADHD in adults. Dr. Jain could have told the court that he agreed that one of the criteria for ADHD was met (impulsivity), and that a proper diagnosis required evidence of either hyperactivity or inattentiveness. Instead he attempted to mislead the court saying that some of the findings indicated a (different) diagnosis of impulsivity.
