ADHD symptoms

PTSD, sensory integration disorder, ODD and sometimes fas, or fae can have symptoms that mimic ADHD or ADD. That is also why so many adopted or foster children are diagnosed with ADHD. Since you adopted your son as an infant, some of these would not apply. Also I have heard or read that mild amounts of adhd medication will sometimes improve an average, non-adhd child child's ability to focus in class. NOT that anyone should give medicine to a child that does not need it.
