How old is your child?
My son is 8 years old and we haven't told him nor gone in to detail in telling him that he has just been diagnosed with ADHD and what that is. I don't know if he is old enough and it's confusing enough for me , he knows he something is not quite right with himself/behaviour etc but that's it.

Best way to know for sure, educated yourself and observe your son.
Consult a doctor, or therapist and go from there.
