I used to teach and a lot of kids are awfully charming when they're trying to get one over on you.

That’s actually part of the problem—he won’t register with the university disability center, which would get the documentation.

It’s absolutely possible. The only thing that raised my antennae was that he took an example of one of the forbidden classroom behaviors towards others (rolling eyes) on the syllabus and said if I saw him doing that it was because of his OCD. It was a combination of tying the behavior so closely to the syllabus and the fact that I would have thought rolling eyes involuntarily was also a symptom of ADHD.
