Is it one of my many symptoms: being impatient and getting angry like if a person is in line and takes forever or whatever stuff like that; getting mad at trivial things. So I guess that would be impatience, easily angered, and another is instant gratification.... whatever who or it or what it may be I have to have it and I have to have it NOW!

It can be. My Dr. says sometimes that impatience is part of ADD. Anger in general can be a result of many things - it's part of what gets explored in therapy - not sure if it is a specific symptom though. Anger and impatience alone aren't enough to make a diagnosis - usually you have to have a number of symptoms for any given disorder. I'd bring it up though when you're in therapy or being evaluated - especially if it is an impairment for you in day to day functioning.
