well i would like to start with reasuring you that you are not a bad parent, and from what you have typed here i can attribute the activity to adhd, for your best understaning and forward progression i would advise reading up on adhd and different parts of ones life it can affect. i dont know what all your son is doing or participating in, but i am in individual that has adhd as well and have been doing a lot of reseach on the topic. I dont know the whole story, but one of the ideas that has worked well for me is outdoor adventure activites, camping, hiking, rock climbing, mt biking. ↑
