hiya i think my son has adhd

he cant sit still, does not sleep, has a habbit of counting things, prefers to be alone rather than with people, is brilliant at creative things (loves building with his lego) he shouts rather than talks, even when talking to himself, he has a nerves tick or either throat clearing or sniffing

 

he is 9

is this signs of adhd??

To have an official diagnosis of your son, I suggest that you go to the doctor. And if he does have ADHD, I think the best thing you can do is join a support group so that you will be able to learn how to cope with raising a child with adhd because honestly its not easy. They will teach and help you how to handle situations because you need a different parenting style.

Good Luck!
