I realized I wasn't very specific, maybe this will help. He is very active. He would much rather be outside than inside. Not a video game kind of kid. He has broken his left arm when he was about 5 and when he was 7 he was burned over 27% of his body and had to have skin grafts. This behavior is not new. When he was 3 that is when the doctor tried the Strattera. He fights with his siblings regularly, eerything he says has an angry or bossy tone. He has to touch everyone, espceially if they say or do something that he doesn't like. He is argumentative. Schoolwork if difficult. We homeschool and focus is always a problem. HE is in the 5th grade, but does not read on that level. He is behind and when we try and work hard on school he gets upset because everything is difficult and he feels stupid and sometimes even cries. He sweats most when he sleeps, craves fruit and at times overeats. He is a little chubby for his age. Before the burns he was thin. He is thirsty all the time. Sometimes I think it is because he is bored that he eats so much. He loves to do physical work. Mow lawns, build things, work on cars, etc. All the neighbors love him because he is so helpful. Not quite the same at home. Hope that helps a little more.
