Child Fidgety, Sleeps Little, Less Active In School. However, Takes Good Grades In School. What Could Be Wrong?

my 12 year old has a few symptons of ocd, he is fidgety, sleeps very little, and doesent want to participate in any school activities. he likes to clown around, but still makes good grades in school. he doesen't have any siblings. he
doesen't like to get up in front of people to do things unless it is on his terms. he is otherwise a healthy child as far
as we know.

Hi, it does not appear to be the OCD, because the symptoms you are describing are not matching with. But he got some psychological problem like A.D.H.D. So i advise you to consult a child psychologist or a psychologist for diagnosis and treatment. Try to show him that you are loving him a lot.Thank you.
