Usually you can manage with behavior therapy till 6-7 years and then consider atomoxetine or other medications to control his adhd. If adhd is severe there are other alternatives too. Good luck

Atomoxetine is usually safe for heart, but in some cases it may increase heart rate an bp, that is kind of put more load on heart. Kindly check with a psychiatrist dealing with intellectual disabilities.
