MARIO

My son (6 years old) has been on Adderall since Tuesday 12/26/17. He has become hyperfocused on Mario. It probably didnt help that he got a switch for christmas and played the Mario game. Yesterday he talked non stop about Mario and even referred to himself as Mario all day long. Now today so far, he is coloring and a little quieter. Is teh hyperfocus something that any of you have seen with starting Adderall or any other medications? He has become super organzied with laying out his clothes the night before and cleaning his playroom with out even being asked. He is very agreeable to things and very cooperative. Should I be concerned about the hyperfocus and talking constantly? I also think that some OCD is coming out as well....

Thanks

Katie
