Well he is 27 now, has been to iraq where his fellow soldiers treated him like the company mascot ,everyone loved him, including the ladies from all the pics i saw and back and now works for me in construction, Still loves to talk, His girlfriend loves that ,is the kindest, most generous,easy to get along with,unending patience, person you will ever meet.So i wouldnt be so eager to do that,Maybe as one of my co workers said when he was growing up "hey he is just high on life"

Once again, just because your son "likes to talk" doesn't mean he's ADHD.

I am ADHD (but dyslexia is my main stumbling block) and hate talking.

Anyone who hangs around me will see that I always have a stress ball in my hand squeezing it and tossing it back and forth. In fact, any stress ball that lasts more than 30 days with me is better than 90% of the rest. I give each one I try a "Randy scale" rating.
