What is really going on with my stepson?

My stepson is 7 and diagnosed with ADHD. I wonder if sometimes he might be a little Asbergers too. Or maybe he is acting like any other kid who is part of a split family. He is very high energy around groups of kids or in very crouded places. He interups all the time. He involves himself in conversations he knows nothing about or is clearly not invited to. He speakes over his teacher in school. He is obsessed with schedules, plans, and routines. He tries to take over when he thinks the adults or parents are doing their job right, acording to him. He is completely potty trained, but has a bedwetting problem, which is completely acceptable exceptable except that he sits in it, fully urine soaked, all morning so he doesn't have to get up to use the bathroom. Kids can't stand his bossyness. It is always his way or no way. Doesn't take others feelings into consideration ever, it's always about him unless forced. Seems very slow to catch on to what is acceptable behavior for a given situation and what is not or out of control. Doesn't act his age, either too old-taking on adult responsibilities and worries, or too young-resorting to juvinile (2 year old) logic and people skills. Has a major competitive obsession with who is better at everything, me or his mom. And also the same competition between him and my son.

sounds like aspergers, i have a 6 yr old step son with autism, you should repost this in the aspergers AND autism comunnities. he really should be evaluated by a professional.

Sounds like a possible ODD as well. My son has ADHD, ODD, and a small case of Aspergers. My sounds very much like that, he also constantly lines his toys up when he plays with him. I was blessed to be able to have the Adderall XR work very well for him. If you have any question or concerns feel from to ask, I'll try to answer anything to the best of my knowledge.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
