Can Weight Loss Increase Cognitive Problems In An ADHD Patient?

I coach a wrester with ADHA. His weight class is 108, he has lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks. He is wrestling poorly, compared to last year when is natural weight was below 106. I feel strongly that this weight loss is causing physical and cognitive problems. I need your help to provide me with information, so I may explain how this is dangerous, to his coach, family and himself. Dave
