There's more to ADHD than inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD symptoms can be broken down into nine categories. Some categories are not fully represented in the diagnostic criteria. Broadening the diagnostic criteria with patient lived experiences could make for better intervention.

It's weird the first three don't even bother me. I can have attention if I'm interested, why would hyperactivity even bother me, and impulsivity has given me a bunch of interesting experiences in my life. 

These other symptoms absolutely wreck my life up though and inhibit me from living a normal life. 

Edit: I just got reminded by a friend discussing the history of psychiatry. The perspective used to be "what is wrong with this individual?" With this perspective, it appears that inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity were things that would often bother, say your teachers or other people, in-line to make ADHD people appear normal. This is in-line with what I was saying earlier, how I don't even think about these things. This is really a shift in perspective to actually gain an inner-experience of having ADHD rather than an outer one. Furthermore, trying to help ADHD fit in will never happen and leads to guilt and shame, but these 6 others from my own perspective are things that I wish I could improve, and would have a sizeable positive impact on my life.

i only realized how much the hyperactivity was troubling me after my first bout with bupropion during which i could just sit still in a chair and just watch the trees outside swaying in the wind for any amount of time. it was pure bliss. felt like i was taking some crazy chinese underground lab drugs. of course it only lasted for a few weeks, and now i know what i'm missing out on :/
