Advice for you: accept him as he is, and provide support.

I had three sons so diagnosed. One was a soldier and now a Process Engineer. One does software in Silicon Valley. One is a musician and works as a programmer at a major retailer data center. All three quite successful.

Understand that help from doctors and schools are all about pushing him back into a box for their benefit. When they have challenges dealing with school processes, they double down on those processes (instead of adapting them so he can succeed). They drug him to remove objectionable parts of his personality. They'd rather blunt his intellect with drugs to make him fit, than direct his energy usefully.

Advocate for him! He's being told on all sides that he is defective or abnormal, instead of just a different kind of person.
