[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 444092, member: 1550"] He sounds like a walking diagnosis for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or Aspergers in about five years (they often get it wrong in the early years). My son had similar obsessive interests. They changed, but he always had one. That is not consistent with ADHD. It's more consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Time will tell. Meanwhile, get all the interventions you can. They will greatly enhance his life. Often these kids seem more functional than they are when they are still young...you see their "Oddities/quirkiness/inability to fit into life far more when they are older and kids are not as forgiving.
