You need to get a serious pediatric evaluation. The behavior you describe is hardly normal and it is not really characteristic of ADHD.

You may make a very dangerous mistake by listening to the opinions posted here. FR has a history of ignorant idiot enthusiasts who don't "believe in" ADHD even though it was clinically characterized about a hundred years ago, when mothers stayed home, fathers were disicplinarians, and there was no TV.

Find a psychiatrist who specializes in spectrum disorders. From the brief description you gave, your son sounds more like Aspergers than ADHD.

I thought the same thing when I read that- child sounds aspie or autism spectrum. Which ADHD behaviors are part of the package.

Hope OP goes and gets a true medical diagnosis, it could be a life changer (for the better)
