librarian_chef, I read also that Inattentive type don’t respond as well to medication, but when they do, it is at a lower dose that for the hyperactive counterparts. My son does have some impulsivity and hyperactive traits, but not severe or many. He interrupts, gets a bit too loud and crude and has trouble bringing himself under control sometimes. He spends money like water, and he talks a lot. And he overestimates his abilities at times which tends to result in risky behaviours. But it is all quite minor stuff overall, compared to the degree of his inattention.

Thanks to all of you for your inputs. They are greatly appreciated.
