I’m confused why you think ADHD and ASD boil down to “impulsiveness”?

It's a major component of ADHD. Not the only component. It is probably the most detrimental component to life stability though. I think it's fair to put it in the spotlight.

This study is about ADHD/ASD and its relation to internalising problems.

Impulse control can be an aspect of the disorders, but that isn’t the topic at hand; nor does it make sense to directly compare to “criminal behavior” and other negative traits randomly.

Commenters on HN like to push their own agendas.

So do research studies.

...what is the agenda being pushed here?

ADHD people are criminals?
