Concussions and ADHD are a mixed bag. Most experts say ADHD meds are counter to good concussion recovery.
A very small number has found ADHD meds to be beneficial to a recovering brain. Concussions can reduce the brain's ability to ignore sensory stimuli/distractions. This can made ADHD worse. The risks in soccer for concussion are: 1. Heading the ball 2. Getting hit in the head by a hard kicked ball. 3. Hitting head to head against an opponent. More common than you would expect. 4. Getting kicked in the head by a high kick. Some leagues outlaw high kicks and heading the ball.... ??? If he has extra risk from a brain bleed because he has a bleeding disorder, I would be extra cautious about soccer. Years ago, this forum had large numbers of members who were having serious struggles after getting concussions playing soccer.
