Too many issues. Please help!!!

My child is 12 years old. He was first diagnosed with ADHD. Later on he developed OCD, and most recently ODD. He has a high IQ and is extremely gifted in math and science. He has seriouse peer problems, and doesn't seem to fit in any setting. He's extremely inquisitive, and always has a book in his hands.
He is currently taking three different medications (one of them a stimulant), which help him "control" himself for a while, at least while he's in school.
I have battled the school system for years to get him appropriate education, but they just keep targetting him as a problem child. I feel that as he gets older, more issues appear, and I believe he has a bright future.
I have been told that having taken Brethine (for pre-term labor) during pregnancy might have had an effect on what's happening to him today. I have read several articles on the topic, but all inconclusive.
Could this explain the combination of issues he has?
Is there anything else I can do for him?
Has he been misdiagnosed?
