Good Luck!
Hi. Myabe you should try another pediatrician or a child neorologist? Good luck.
my own child had a misdiagnosis at 6 and the final conclusive medical condition was worse than i ever could have imagined. take a step back and try to take stock of his good behavior. the medics will finally get an answer but try to focus on his positive traits.
It sounds like perhaps your child lies along the the borders of a behavior disorder. But without more information, it is hard to say. The ADHD makes it hard for him to avoid his compulsions, and hyperactivity. It could also be that he lies somewhere along the large autism spectrum, however once again, its hard to say without more information. Usually when a child has trouble controlling their compulsions and is viewed as out of control, it is usually a combination or ADHD and a behavior disorder or an emotional disorder. Being that he is only 6 though is a good sign. He is a lot of time to get the help he needs to work within himself to calm his urges and to control his behavior. If you give me a little more information, I could prob give you better information and some interventions that you can use at home to work with him. I can tell you now, that it is going to take you working with him constantly at home, and his teachers working with him at school, for him to change and get better. Please give me more information, because I would love to help you. Just so you know, I am a special education teacher, who used to work with children with behavior disorders.
O.D.D oppositional defiant disorder. This disorder is very common with A.D.H.D in children. Take it to your doctor, he probably knows what it is.

thats a really good site that explains all of the symptoms
Maybe it is ODD, which is oppositional defiance disorder. I am no doctor. Maybe you need to get more opinions from a few other doctors, along with praying, if you are spiritual or religious at all. Maybe all attention, including reprimanding him, negative feedback, negative attention, and any attention is good to him, in other words, even when you punish him, he likes it, so he gets more attention, he doesn't care where or how the attention gets to him. Try praising anything positive he does, whether it is big or small, when you do that, in his mind and eyes, it boosts him to the sky-better self confidence. When disciplining, try to remain as calm and emotionless as possible, if he always gets a big reaction out of being naughty, that may feed into the cycle of the bad behavior. Hopefully this will work.
