It's pretty typical. That whole picture could have described me, or my son, or his friend. We all have the "inattentive ADD package", as you say.

What are you worried about, exactly? That he won't reach his growth potential, determined in part by his genes? 
I put heavy cream in DS's milk, pour olive oil on everything, add protein at every meal. I did the same when he was a toddler, nearing failure to thrive and taking 2 solid hours to eat one tiny meal (I am not exaggerating). Since his ADHD meds suppress his appetite, I load him up at breakfast and dinner, when the meds haven't kicked in or they've worn off, respectively.

Your son is old enough to type. After years of handwriting practice which led nowhere, I had to pick my battles with DS. He has the typing accommodation at school.

What sport is he doing? Usually these kids don't do well with team sports, but can do very well in individuals. Mine does ballet and swimming, and previously did gym. It is crucial for their coordination, flexibility and strength. he could try rock-climbing, which would strengthen his fingers and wrists. Perhaps piano as well, a gentler exercise for all the above.
