I'm just jumping in here because I have a similar son, although he has autism, not ADHD...but a LOT of the behaviors overlap to the outside world.
He also has trouble with very strict instructors. We lucked out in Kinder-gym that they permitted him to roll around on the floor and jump while in line. We also lucked out with swim team last year because the coach could see him getting antsy and gave him a job to do so he didn't have to sit and wait patiently like the other little angels.
Adults who argue or try to out-logic him always lose, and boy do they get mad about it! Which of course makes everything worse. We have had him practice saying, "Yes ma'am, I'm sorry, I won't do it again!" in order to avoid disciplinary actions. That tactic has not worked til this year, but he is getting the hang of it!
I don't think many adults have ever met a 2e (3e? if you count PG as an extra "e") like ours, so our kids stand alone.
