I think that when people eat surgar, chocolate, and drink coffer and other stimulates, it can make people very hyper. So I think you taking away the sugar from him is a smart idea.
My name is Quinn and I thought that I should let you know that I to have ADD/ADHD. You should maybe see a doctor as well if that doesn't work and try some medacine.
