I feel for the kid, and for those of you supporting and caring for him. Children too can be so needlessly unfair and cruel to those who don't fit in. Childhood ain't always a walk in the park.
We don't choose ADHD, but I hope that with him having been given the diagnosis in an early part of life it gives him the chance to adapt. It won't be an easy road and I obviously don't know him. Still I hope that the diagnosis has unlocked a support system that will help and give him the means to eventually understand his diagnosis and learn to master it in life as best he can.
Many who have ADHD do seem to eventually figure out how to find and build friendships that work for them, and turn out well.
But it is sad and painful to see them go through what he's dealing with.

@SW-User That's great to hear. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he finds good chemistry with the counsellor(s) and that they help him find ways to cope and adapt. So long as he has people like you around him that care and hasn't given up on him I'm sure he'll find his way.
