Has he ever been tested or diagnosed for ADHD, Asperger's/Autism, etc?

My 13 year old son has ADHD and while he's gotten SO much better, his greatest challenge BY FAR directly attributed to his ADHD, is something that most people would never think is a challenge for those with ADHD...

picking up on social cues.

Once he was diagnosed, then of course I found out through all of my research that the majority of kids with ADHD, also struggle with picking up on social cues.

As I mentioned, he's gotten SO much better after working with his therapist for the past 2 years, as well as all of us in the family (dad, siblings) chipping in and working with him -- whether it be discussing real life scenarios that he will probably find himself in during high school/college, then asking him what he thinks he would do if put in those situations and if his answer was way off base, just explaining to him what people typically might do.

It's like night and day, from before he was diagnosed until now.

The reason I'm bringing this up is, if he does have an undiagnosed LD/SN, it would explain why he's so socially awkward, he's content to only have one friend (his friend probably REALLY gets him,  is a low maintenance friendship & his friends doesn't have too many expectations from your husband), it would explain why he gets easily overwhelmed at the mere thought of doing something social with others & would realllly explain why he can become so easily angered & frustrated.

If he's got an undiagnosed learning disability, special need or mental health challenge (such as anxiety) it would help to explain So. Much More about him and why he is the way he is and why he does the things he does.

I'm very sorry OP, I don't know what the correct answer is here, but I wish you luck.
