There's a great book you should read, it's called Driven to Distraction, I believe the authors are Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., and John J. Ratey, M.D. You can probably get it cheap/used on Amazon.com Hope this helps. As a person with A.D.D. myself, the best advice I can give you is to BE PATIENT with your son, and don't discipline him (I'm sure you wouldn't) for being hyper, impulsive, or distracted, because he can't help it! Adderall has been a good medication for me, and as a nurse, for my patients as well.
