In my opinion your child will benefit with the social skill group therapy where specific social skills are taught to the child. Also you can do role play and role reversal with your child to teach him social skills. The children with ADHD have difficulty in following rules. firm parenting will help you to deal with him. pre decided rules and consequences to be given when he does not follow your rules will be helpful. Also his compliance with you should be rewarded adequately.
