My Son Is 7 Years Old.I Just Found Out He's

My son is 7 years old.I just found out he's taking medication for adhd(not sure how long,at least 6 mths).My ex claims he was uncontrollable at school til the meds and still stays in trouble at home(hmm?the meds are supposed to work through the evening right?)Her mom and grandparents have also spoke to me about his behavior(bad),however,when he's at my house,with mine or my wife's family,or when we have him around friends, we have NEVER had that issue.And our friends and family are in shock of his supposed behavior.Well,when asking her why my wife or I have never witnessed the behavior,she claimed he was too "scared" to show his adhd.So what I want to know is that with a true diagnosis of adhd, can a child pick and choose when bad behavior is shown or does mom need to learn better discipline?He's also said he likes to stay home bc he can do what he wants.
