Well, mine has been officially diagnosed by a very expensive  
pediatric psychiatrist as "not ADHD, but there will be teachers and  
administrators who will claim he needs to be medicated anyway, mostly  
because they're too lazy or stupid to deal with him any other way."

We found aikido to be extremely helpful, both in channeling the  
energies of the beast and making focus something of a moral imperative.
