hi..its difficult to judge what form of disorder your son have..its some form of externalizing disorder, however..like conduct disorder or ADHD..it may also be some emotional problem like deprivation that he may face..so consult a psychiatrist and then get a psychometry done by a clinical psychologist for proper assessment..he wil be fine..wish him good health
