After that point, only if you believe there are serious problems like verbal or other abuse going on would you want to take further action.
Meanwhile I doubt this is all that related to ADHD. Again, even if it was, you're not a psychologist and can't treat it. Treat him like you would treat anyone else in the same situation.

Thank you for responding
i'll try that it's just hard to sit back and watch him do this to himself ya know? Thing is he has now lost his friends, he has one or two here and there but they don't look out for him or care they just like his bubbly personality. I was hoping that if it was ADHD related we could get him treated or go through therapy or learn management strategies. I worry if i treat him like anyone else without the condition it will only make things worse. I always try to sugar coat things so they don't overwhelm him or make him feel like he is being attacked especially if it's personal ya know?
Thank you again
