<p>As the parent of one ADHD and two ADD sons (I am ADHD), it sounds like a classic ADD child. I agree with the posts to have him evaluated by a trained professional. An ADD or ADHD diagnosis is not a curse. Nor is it an indication that your child is destined to failure. Quite the contrary, most ADD/ADHD kids are quite intelligent (see Albert Einstein), just plain bored with school, and do not have the tools to stay focused on task. See a qulified professional, and relax. Your child will do just fine.</p>
