Answer
With the information you have given me it would be impossible to make a diagnosis, only speculate. That you have had him tested three times and still no final diagnosis is very strange. Who actually tested him.
If you have ADHD he might also have it. That would be my best shot without testing him. I feel there is no alternative, but to take him to an expert and try again. I could do an internet assessment on him as a last resort.
