This ADHD thing is just a label that doctors use when they don't know what is really going on with a child. My two sons were diagnosed with this but neither really have it. The oldest one (now 16) was diagnosed when he was only 3 because the psychologist gave him like 50 toys at the same time and the poor child didn't know what to do with all that, he took one throw it and took the other one and so on... I also came home with a bag of pills and started medication. As advised by the doctor I talk with his teachers to tell them he was on meds, the teachers response was the meds don't work! he is climbing the walls in hyperactivity. So I stop the meds and went back to the doctor. He changed the meds and when I went to the pharmacy to buy them, the pharmacist ask me the age of the child and told me that the drugs were used for people over 18, you can figure my surprise, I din't buy them nor gave anything else to my son. Without any medication or further therapy, he surprised me every single day with something new he wrote a book that went published as a local spanish text book and was paid for it, he writes constantly Reggaeton lirics (that's what I at my age know so much of this rhythm, which I don't really care much about, I'm stuck on 70-90s music)and we are in the process of registering his lirics before the appointment he has with Reggaeton producers/singers next month. At for school he is a good student As and Bs all the way through.
The younger one (now 12) also was diagnosed because he talk to much but is fully able to sit at school and attend the teacher, follow instructions, etc. so I din't care any further and he has also succeed at school without any meds. So get a second opinion, this could be something else and is understandble after a stormy divorce like the one you're apparently having, maybe he needs more attention or a different kind doctor.
