Yikes. That sounds like his impulsive side coming out full force. Sounds like you are doing the best you can to work on his behavior, which is probably why he manages to keep the impulsivity under control most of the time. And he is probably frustrated if he has a hard time making friends, maybe you can help him work on his social skills. Most children learn social skills by watching and imitating what others do. Kids with ADHD often need some extra guidance to learn the rules of appropriate social interaction.

Here are some articles that might provide a little extra help:

I would like to see him try to carry one. Whilst there is a serious side to this and your child needs to learn not to blurt out whatever he deems fit at that time, why on earth are the school making an issue out of it. A bit of common sense should tell them that this is hardly going to come to anything. For starters he has got to find one first and then drag it all the way to school.

I have had my fair share of school phoning me telling me that my child was this, that and the other, but honestly, I sometimes think the schools blow things out of proportion. Whilst your child has issues all I can see is a frustrated child trying to draw attention away from a very uncomfortable situation.

The worst my child did was bite another child because she was frustrated, the second time she did it she was put on detention. (she was 5 years old at the time). From then onwards she withdrew from the world even more and had no friends.
