Question 1

Accepted Answer

Ecstasy: What was actually in the pill your boyfriend thought was ecstasy, could have been mdma plus whatever the maker decided to put in there.  Your boyfriend does not and cannot know.

Too early: Two years of age is too early to diagnose a child with ADHD.  Also drugging a child to sleep is not wise.  Try other alternatives such a Triple P positive parenting program.
