My 15-year-old son, Miguel, for the past year and a half, has constantly been saying that he wants to date his doctor's daughter (she's 5 or 6, never meet her, seen her, and know very little about her). I have been telling him that he doesn't even know what she looks like and that it's disgusting and gross. But he won't stop saying it!!! What can I do???
If he’s never seen her or met her I would just not engage him when he says it. I don’t think think that telling him that it’s gross and disgusting is a good idea as he may make him feel like you think “he’s” gross and disgusting. He’s a kid and I am sure it will pass.
On the other hand maybe he’s saying it because he knows it pushes your buttons. I am ADHD too and I can remember doing things that I knew my mom would react to... just because I could. Kind of payback for some perceived injustice that I may have been feeling.
Or quite simply because I just wanted to be a P.I.T.A.
Sounds like he gets a rise out of upsetting you. Has he previously shown any interest of this sort in much younger children? If so, you may have a problem that needs immediate attention. But if this is something new - button-pushing is the most likely explanation.

Is this due to lack of potential partners close to his age (+/- 2 years)?
If yes, maybe help match-make him with an appropriate partner?
If no, this might need serious evaluation for ongoing therapy, because most pedophiles report having had these feelings starting at age 13 or 14, even though according to DSM-V a person cannot be diagnosed with pedophilia until the age of 16 (fast approaching..)
Talk to your son's doctor about this now.
Call him up and talk to doctor on the phone tomorrow.
Not normal for a 15 year old. Why his doctors very young daughter? How would he know doctor has a young daughter? Does doctor discuss his family with patients? I doubt it and he shouldn't.
