9 year old boy with poor attention span

My son is 9 years old and has the attention span of a fish. He doesnt seem to absorb what your asking him, even simple instructions such as asking him to get a nappy for his younger brother he will bring back my partner's wallet!!!! He always has his clothes on back to front and on more then one occasion has left the house with two different shoes on! I'm just hoping for some advice or help.

What do his teachers say about him?
Are you sure he isn't just being lazy and silly so that you don't ask him to do things?
