Why? It hasn't hindered him so far, has it?
Exactly. There are wildly gifted kids with ADHD and ADD, but for each kid the strengths and challenges combine in their own unique way - so saying a child has ADHD says nothing about how their learning will go. OTOH a 'normal school environment' can be very hard on a wildly gifted kid or a kid with ADHD - so depending on the child's personality, combining those aspects can make fitting in to a 'normal school environment' something of a challenge.
See what you think about that 2008 edition of 'Transforming the Difficult Child' by Howard Glasser and if there is anything there that would help you guide your child to be strong enough on the inside to handle whatever challenge comes his way.
