My son also suffers from ADHS. Was a big struggle until I found help. First of all browse on the internet, find books about it and get an appointment at a psychiatric doctor for kids and youngsters. There are institutions for such kids - and if necessary - medication like Ritalin, Strattera and Concerta or similar. You need a lot of patientance now. Good luck.

ohh, hi! I don't know, but you should click on my name thingy, and then click on my question, "please i need help" that question, is about ODD and two doctors had some interesting responses.
