Listening to children about meanings and senses attributed to ADHD

Abstract

Increasingly, cultural order phenomena, social, economic, political and behavior are transformed into medical and individual issues. Logically, if the problem is with individual power would treat it and cure it, ignoring thus the whole wide problematic context of inequality, exclusion, standards and norms, competitiveness and homogeneity which we operate. In an attempt to deepen this theme, this study investigates the production of meanings and meanings by children / students diagnosed with attention deficit with or without hyperactivity. The study was conducted with four students between 7 and 14 years of age and their parents. As a result, it can be noted that all diagnostics have emerged from complaints arising from school that led families to seek help in the offices of specialists. It is necessary to rethink practices that provide a development without excluding the diversity and uniqueness or pathologizing.
