He does have problems with executive function (loses things a lot, needs reminders to do basic things). And he is very active and fidgety - but I always thought that was sensory; the behaviours decrease when we look after sensory needs.
Two notes on this Can2K:
My ds with DCD has challenges related to EF and organization that are attributed to his DCD - this is a common part of DCD for many people. The challenges had a huge impact in elementary and middle school, but by middle school I was able to work with him in a way that was meaningful and helped tremendously. He still has these types of challenges in high school but he's much better equipped now to deal with them thanks to a combination of maturity, increased self-awareness, and years of practice.
I have a dd who had vision issues that were remediated through vision therapy. She *looked* like she had ADHD when she was young, before VT, because she never sat still, was extremely fidgety, and had a sensory diagnosis. All of those things improved tremendously with vision therapy, so I wonder if it might be that your ds is still dealing with vision issues. FWIW, vision therapy made a huge improvement in my dd's vision, but she still works hard at keeping her eyes tracking etc. and has been through one necessary "redo" of vision therapy, again, successful, but not a "cure-all".
Best wishes,
