[quote=Anonymous]If he doesn't have problems, forget about ADHD. People think everything is ADHD these days. I constantly hear people talking about normal, even stereotypical kid behaviors as a problem that can be "solved" with an ADHD diagnosis. But if a kid has no academic, mental health, or social issues, then who cares? He doesn't have a problem. Most kids are pretty active and energetic. It's not like the average kid is very sedate and quiet and then only the outliers like running around a playground or are talkative and excited. That's most kids! It's good. Embrace it. Stop trying to diagnose your kid, meet his needs whatever they are (sounds like he needs plenty of outdoor time and could benefit from organized sports and a school that guarantees activity).
