Thanks Aculady - lovely thought and lovely list!
for the OP, well, why not both? I think you'll thank yourself if you get a psychoeducational eval for your child and find out if he is gifted, what are strategies for making things go better for him and also if you get him checked for ADHD.
One strategy for helping kids with ADHD focus is to make sure they are in a learning environment where the learning is at the 'just right' level of difficulty - it helps everyone focus, and really gives a boost to kids who have trouble modulating their focus.
Hope that helps,
