I don't know what difference his race makes.  

Your pediatrician should be able to guide you about medications and dosages.

Well I dont think putting a kid on meds is the best thing. My daughter has ADHD, Disruptive behavorial Disorder and the list goes on. Hers is due to her birth trauma when she was born. So meds first off wouldnt work. I tried some and she had side affects. Just try to keep your son interested in something he likes to do. Talk to him. Ask for a person you can go talk to. Like a support group for you.

  No one right answer as every child is different and reacts to meds differently.  A good, experienced doctor is the best answer.  If you have a choice find a pediatric psychiatrist.  When posting on the ADHD forum, I recommend  to a lot of people to buy,  "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley.   Not knowing any specifics, it would be my first choice of a book with information that would help you.  Best wishes
