What disorder is characterized by underdevelopment of impulse control, leading to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness?

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by difficulties in regulating attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Individuals with ADHD often struggle with impulse control, which can lead to challenges in focusing on tasks and following through with responsibilities. The symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness are reflective of the underlying issues with impulse regulation and executive function.

In contrast, a learning disability specifically refers to difficulties in acquiring skills in areas such as reading and math but does not inherently involve impulsivity or hyperactivity. Dyslexia involves difficulties with language processing, particularly in reading and writing, rather than issues with impulse control. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder affecting motor skills and may not directly relate to attention and impulse control issues. Thus, the distinctive symptoms of inattention and impulsivity make ADHD the most fitting diagnosis in this context.
