Hi Sabrina,
Your post caught my eye as I was checking out this board for the first time. As an adult diagnosed w/ADD 3 years ago, I have a great deal of respect, empathy and interest in kids coping with it, and their wonderful parents, too. My best friends' son (age 12) was also just diagnosed, but we've known for years...
Wondered if any tidbits in this article might help. Sounds like you're doing much of this with your son already, but maybe something will jump out. I myself, LOVED the idea of making the audio tape on page 2 - check it out. I have tons of links to resources like this, but many are focused on adult ADD issues. (My *child* is 23 and has the *normal* (ha, ha - whatever) brain of the rest of the world.)

Hope this helps.
PS - When I was unmedicated and undiagnosed and lost - I WAS your son, only in adult form. I so get why he does what he does. Stuff is just so darn fascinating, and it CAN'T wait, you know!
