Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are more common than you might think. It is a syndrome that exhibits symptoms such as hyperactivity, forgetfulness, mood shifts, poor impulse control, and distractibility. Join others who suffer from these conditions and share your experiences.
Also, 6 is a very VERY young age to diagnose ADD/ADHD. Kids that age are naturally all over the place. Is his behavior a serious problem? Describe his symptoms.
Have any doctors done extensive testing on him? A good doctor will conduct a three hour test.
If nobody diagnoses him with ADD/ADHD and you still are absolutely convinced, you can switch your son to a gluten and casein free diet. There are cookbooks in the bookstores that offer kid-friendly meals you can make that are gluten and casein free. This is a widely accepted practice, and I've heard success stories.
But I would really look closely at your son. Are you SURE it's ADD/ADHD or is it just a behavioral problem. If every doctor you go to won't diagnose him, then maybe they're right.
I hope this helps.
