My son has adhd, is this normal behavior?

Question:

My son Has ADHD and is contiually peeing on the bed while awake and peeing on the bathroom floor next to the toilet . He also lies nonstop and no matter what form of punishment or treats we do nothing is helping we have tried to tell him that if he tells the truth he won't get in trouble, but that isn't working and it is getting worse he is now stealing from us and taking his little brothers water, and threatening to hit his sister and others, is this normal behavior for a 6 year old with ADHD or is there something else i should be looking for?
Any help would be great thanks.

He is only here visiting but apartenly this has been going on for awhile. But i was not informed of how drastic it was until he came to visit.

Answers:
NO, that is not normal behavior for a child with ADHD. It sounds like he may also have Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I suggest you talk to his psychiatrist or therapist. He would greatly benefit from behavior modification, both for the ADHD and the ODD.

You're dealing with more than ADHD here. You need to talk to your child's therapist about whether or not he seems to have developed ODD (oppositional defiant disorder), and adjust his treatment plan accordingly. The unusual urinating behaviors are a significant concern. Some children who have been abused respond in similar ways. It is VITAL that you mention this to his therapist so he/she can render a thorough evaluation.

None of it is normal behaviour, and the question is how severe it is. He may have serious social problems that go beyond ADHD. I treat a lot of young kids with Chiropractic and it can help a lot by helping to regulate their out of control nervous system. Medications don't work very well. Best luck. David.

That is not normal for adhd...i am very familiar w various mental health issue in children.perhaps he has a form of autism..are his movements repetative sometimes?

The child is looking for attention which he has missed and a role model which he doesn't have.

we need a few more deails- why is he only visiting? is he with you often, or is this rare- if so, he could be suffering anxiety and this is how he is displayng it. is he on medication for adhd? or does he have routines that have been disturbed by his coming to visit you? thebehaviours could be his adhd or they could be stress in a wee boy- he is still a wee boy at 6

ADHD is made up. you said it in your question "Treats"?? Check his DIET, stop ALL Processed sugars, high fructose corn syrup etc.sodas? Poison. do not allow him more than 1 per day. have him eat proteins for breakfast. do not let him eat sugary cereals. do NOT Put your kid on drugs.

well, my nephew, sboth have extreme ADD and their mother refuses to handle them so she jumps pumps them up un ridilin and that makes then depressed, have no energy, and just very "blahhhh" so im begging you even if you get desperate please dont go to that level.

This behavior is not typical for ADHD. It sounds more like this:
