Were you thinking of something in particular when you asked? Curious to know.
Yeah. My oldest son went through much of what you described when his Dad died. He was in counselling of course but it never really shifted. In HS, he was diagnosed with a type of ADHD but he had the other things I mentioned too. Some of what he was dealing with have been attributed to this strain of ADHD, others were the grief process and some of it, is a bit of both. But the things I asked are very common in ADHD so it's highly unlikely that he'd have none of those common signs if this was the issue.
