Doing art, appreciating art and wondering about techniques is certainly a venue i'd introduce a person with ADHD to.
But the short attention span demands different subjects to focus on so in my opinion having a couple of different (scientific) fields of interest is paramount to keep the mind at ease and lead a comfortable life. Certainly it is unlikely any of these fields will be mastered but eventually a professional level can be reached.
Ashmantle, i think you're doing good by offering your son interesting fields of study. Game programming with a game maker might be a good start. Me, i was happily amazed when i had my first basic loop print out hello world over and over ;) And my curiosity evolved from there.
Wish you all the best.
