I would definitely agree with going to an expert in this arena. Maybe even a couple. I have a nephew that was on meds for ADHD for years that were prescribed by a regular ped. I think he started them at age 5 or 6. At some point his mom did some research and had him reassessed. Needless to say, he has been off meds for a while and is doing great. He's an 8th grader now. She has made a few dietary changes for him, but it's highly unlikely that he was ever actually ADHD.
