Abstract
This article delves into the professional experiences occurred during the period from 2005 to 2009; its main subject deals with the construction of diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The practices exercised by a guidance counselor and psychologist, along with a Professor, produced many problematizations. These experiences were all derived from critical historical references which found that the diagnosis of ADHD may be taking the place of several absences and conflicts in contemporary times, such as the difficulty of dealing with the diversity of the different modes of existence, as well as with establishing prohibitions and moral values in order to guide the interaction with all human multiplicity.
