In fact I believe 90% of active young boys cause people to wonder if they are ADHD. Matt Meese' character, Kyle, on Studio C was not a long exaggeration of how I was.
I was put on ritalin for a short time, but I wouldn't take it so my parents gave up trying to control me. I eventually just grew out of it.
So, I wish you well and hope they get the diagnosis right. I too am not high on medicating everything. Medication does have its applications but not in all things.
I pray you find if it is right for your son or not. But he may grow out of it.
