not necessarily. though hyperthyroidism kids seem to be hyperactive, they are more like sick and restless. if the boy is hyper and is healthy i dont thnk he needs a thyroid profile. for ur satisfaction a fT3, fT4 and a TSH may be done. with anti-TSH-R antibodies

Effects on Your Baby. Even if you are take the appropriate medicine during your pregnancy to successfully treat your hyperthyroidism, your baby is still at risk for the development of hyperthyroidism called neonatal thyrotoxicosis. Even with proper medication or surgery, thyroid stimulating antibodies may remain in your bloodstream and may be passed to your newborn baby. Therefore, your baby must be tested (with a simple blood test) immediately after birth for a possible overactive thyroid gland.
having hyperthroidism does not make you hyper in the sense of being hyperactive, its overstimulation of your throid gland..

I agree with the above answer, get a blood test for your baby.
