DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. The given symptoms do not warrant hyperactivity. Tiredness and grouchy symptoms are not regarded to be part of hyperactivity. Being hyperactive at times is also not hyperactivity. Another thing to note is he is attentive, calm and involved when doing some work / project which is quite engrossing or requires attention. Therefore, Attention deficit can also be almost set aside. You need to observe his general behavior for any behavior problems such as aggressiveness or attention seeking. Please consult a child psychologist for diagnosis, or you may provide detailed symptom list here. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http
