Can those with adhd tend to be emotionally immature?

ADD and immaturity: The population with adhd has the full range of emotional maturity. Since impulsivity is common among children and young adults, they may appear immature/.

WRONG IDEA: Those with adhd tend to be more impulsive and have difficulty waiting - and a whole bunch of other biologically based things. Use medication and things improve. Neurological problem, not immaturity.
