Could be. I know he has some hearing issues. But the medicine (adderall) DOES work it gets him to slow down and he is able to focus better. He is slowly outgrowing it.
I didn’t either until 2 months ago. I take 2000-3000mg per day. I take the flushing kind. I take it a few times a day,. For something behavioral you definitely divide it into three or more doses. Even six doses so you take 6 x 500mg to give you a total of 3000mg (3 grams) per day. The idea is to maintain a constant niacin blood level for the child (or adult)....at least to get over the hump.
People get scared off by the niacin flush so you have to tell them exactly what to expect and what is going on. The flush gets less if consumed with food at the end of a meal as Hoffer said to do. Also gets less as you go along
Just a thought. Wean him off of wheat, white flour and white sugar and all processed meats. Balogna, hot dogs, store made sausage and hamburger, etc. I will bet that you will see a difference in 10 to 14 days.
With the exception of whole wheat and occasionally white sugar, we don’t eat any of those things. I make just about everything including our bread (non-GMO flour) and corn tortillas (non-GMO masa). A lot of our food is from our garden and our meat is from a local farmer. We’ve eliminated msg, hfcs, hydrogenated oil, artificial colors/flavors/sweeteners, and most soy from our diet. We definitely feel better. The plus is we know exactly from where our food comes, especially since our government okayed Chinese chicken.
Kids with this and adults may score high or above average on testing again if undistributed.
I've know of Paramedics and cops with it as well as firemen. The adrenalin involved in response allows for focusing.
The downside is this. In adult life C.A.P.D. can also mean anxiety disorders. That is because the primary physical issue such as Inner Ear etc is damaged and anxiety is a symptom of it much like ADD or ADD/ADHD type symptoms can be in a kid with this. Ritalin will not help kids with this unless they also do have ADD ADHD as well.
Well the term Snotty Nosed Brat is actually a medical condition not a behavioral one as such. Address treating the snotty nose so the damage that triggers Brat part is not as severe.
We are fortunate to live near Amish country here and can look for Amish raised meat at our grocer. Yeah, it costs a little more. But you know it isn't loaded up with all the hormones and crap.
Another thing: butter is way, way better for you than margarine. Avoid anything made with Canola oil at all costs.
There can also be both CAPD along with ADD/ADHD which complicates it even more.
FWIW, Mom’s side of the family is even healthier than Dad’s. Mom is still alive. Rule at her house was to mainly use meat as a flavoring agent (rabbit was a favorite), whole grains and vegetables and avoid anything with sucrose like the plague.
BTW CAPD will likely have some symptoms ADD ADHD doesn’t such as coordination issues and eye issues. The kid may also wear out shoes very fast like in a month by breaking over the sides.

But in the long run Mother nature insurance cost far less!
Ok, let me leave it by saying literally everyth9ing I have read or heard about ADHD concerns disruptive behavior. Not saying you are not correct in classifying an inability to focus as ADHD, it is just that I have simply never heard of what you describe as being ADHD. Usually it is called day dreaming.
The more common term used with such kids is ADD/ADHD ... Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Some have the H, most don’t.
I know this is one of those advertisements but what he is saying I think there is a lot of truth to it..
What do you think I have not finish it the only type of doctor I see is an A4M
