I have been able to see the impulsive issue more with my girls than myself, though I am getting better at spotting it in me.
It's kind of like a craving that is difficult to deny. I see how my thought process is different. The key for me (and realize I wasn't diagnosed until August 2009 and spent 24 years being told I was NOT ADHD) is to slow down and THINK about the impulse. If after thinking about it for some length of time (depending on what it is) I may still "give in to" the impulse, but at least I have thought it through. I've only been able to do this since I have gone on medication.
Hope this helps!
