[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't make it a moral issue per se. I think that kids with ADHD and sensory issues tend to be distracted for want of a better word and don't pay as much attention to others, plus he by definition has impulse control issues. Empathy is developed and kids with ADHD tend to lag quite a bit in social development. If you think of him as being more like 4 in some ways it might help. Be super clear and concrete and keep asking him what he thinks things feel like for others. He might not get it until he is much older. I wouldn't leave him alone with the baby and have clear and direct consequences every time. I think if you can work with a psychologist who works with kids with ADHD they can give you some strategies. Medication may make him more available to learn things, it's not an immediate fix for most kids. Hang in there. [/quote]
