I can't help you out with anyone specific but I can offer general advice. There are many conditions that can look similar to ADHD but their roots are different and therefore intervention may be different. Every possibility needs to be considered and ruled out one by one in order to reach what is known as a differential diagnosis. This kind of thorough evaluation calls for a clinician with a broad area of expertise, such as a pediatric neuropsychologist, who is familiar with the range of possible diagnoses and can consider all the options before arriving at a differential diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is made, whatever it is, you would look for a clinician with specialized expertise in that specific field to provide treatment. I hope that helps.
