My wife has ADHD, she was officially diagnosed. I never got tested but I would not at all be surprised if I have ADD or ADHD.

My son is almost 6 and I think it's very possible he will develop ADHD.

At school he is the ony child that has his own little desk, because he gets very distracted working in a group.

At home he can completely get absorbed in something he does, like lego or watching tv. To the point where I have to turn the TV off to ask him a question (otherwise he just doesn't respond at all). He forgets to eat or drink when we don't ask him multiple times.

I would like to hear from people that have ADHD, what would you have liked your parents would have done when you where really young?

For example would you think it's better to try to get a diagnose asap or would it be better to wait until he is older?

What other things could work to get daily things done? Like getting dressed without me having to ask 16 times.

Get diagnosed, and if applicable, treatment ASAP. In a very loose way, early intervention can "cure" ADHD.

Children's brains have much higher levels of neuroplasticity, and can therefore "learn" and rewire their brains' reward systems to be similar to those of neurotypicals. There is evidence that with early intervention and treatment, this is sufficient enough that children with ADHD can grow up into adults that are well functioning enough to no longer require as much treatment/medication, if at all.
