he will just be placed on medicine.. if that is what your choice should be and just watch him carefully and pay extra attention to him .. besides that he should be fine:]
OF COURSE HE IS A BOY!! << and it could be just boy syndrome instead of ADHD .. either way he should grow out of either one!

Of course you will contact the school and see if they can help you in getting a diagnostic test performed on him to see if he really has that or if he just hates something in his life.
At 5, children act out what we as adults can articulate.
If you see him getting frusturated before his outbursts, try to help him express his emotions and respond accordingly.
If he is mad about another child not sharing for example, his impulse at 5 might be to just go and snatch the toy or throw something at the child...
Help him to express that he wanted that toy to play with to. When he says that you can encourage the other child to share or you can divert his attention to another toy that might be more fun with your intereaction.
Be sure that he is not seeing destructive behavior. Is your neighbor's husband always beating his wife? Your child will see it and might try to emulate him....
whatever you decide to do, JUST LOVE HIM and let him know that even though he destroyed (the toy or whatever) that that action will NOT effect your love for him.

i think its best that you consult a specialist for your child first. he or she can tell you what to do.
your child is destructive because he lacks the ability to focus on one activity only. he has a very short attention span and is prone to not finish the things he started. they also do not know the proper sequencing of things, especially instructions. they tend to forget them and finally not to follow them anymore. never scold your child because of this. remember, its not his fault that he got adhd.
a friend of mine told me a story about a mother who also has a child with adhd. she made use of post-its with little instructions on them. when the child wakes up, he sees a post it which says "go to the bathroom". once in the bathroom, the first thing the child would see is another post it which says "brush your teeth". his toothbrush and toothepaste is already near the sink. when he grabs the towel, another post it is attached to it and has another instruction for him. this goes on until the child goes down from his room to have breakfast. you can also try this.
but try consulting the doctor first, he might have a more promising suggestion.

If he destroys your stuff - take away things of his - garbage them even or better yet give them to charity . He will learn to stop .

You will cope and you will love him. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. You can do this.
