You know, alot of this sounds like my DS (9 in April) and the psychologist who tested him mentioned ADHD. She said she couldn't be certain just from the testing, but there were 'behaviors' that were flags for her of ADHD and impulsivity.
She mentioned three things - ADHD, anxiety, and asynchronous development. She also mentioned that for it to be ADHD, the behaviors would have been present prior to age 7. To us, he's always been energetic and bounces from one thing to another when he's had enough of whatever it was. He's physically active and it's never really been a problem for us, other than.....we're tired at the end of the day:) His handwriting is atrocious, but so is DHs.
I guess I look at it like this - for everything she mentioned that could be attributed to ADHD, I can look at DH or myself and see some of the same things. I did some reading after our meeting and found that the same behaviors could also be related to his giftedness.
Good luck finding your answers.
