Answer 1

I am a CCMA

You may want him tested for other behavior disorders besides ADD/ADHD as they are Highly Diagnosed and that is not the real underlying issue.. My daughter was diagnosed with ADD and her actual issue was School Phobia and Depression

Yes it can be Genetic

Answer 2

On a doctor can diagnose ADHD, you have to have your children tested.

Answer 3

No, it sounds like they are KIDS ALL KIDS are hyper boys usually more than girls, as far as being disrespectful that is a choice not a brain problem.....

Answer 4

it looks like add and adhd run in the family

but to make sure try recording his actions

and ask how you bros and sisters acted while they were a kid

and compare notes

good luck
