A exclusão social de pessoas com transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH)

Abstract

With personal motivation, for having been a person with ADHD, the theme of the work is the inclusion of the person with ADHD in society. Exclusion is a social reality in Brazil and in the world. It occurs in relation to any people who do not "fit" the social status quo established by a dominant minority. People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are part of that society. The objective of the work is to reflect on ADHD in adolescents and its demystification, aiming at the inclusion of people based on plurality and social diversity. For this, it starts with a conceptualization about the disorder, reflects on the family in this context, as well as on adolescence, when, in general, ADHD becomes more evident and subject to exclusion. It highlights ADHD at school and in learning as it directly influences the knowledge acquisition process, in addition to personal relationships. Finally, it seeks in Theology, an area of knowledge that deals with the meaning of life, the understanding of inclusion. It is concluded that ADHD is just another factor of social exclusion, on the one hand, and evidence of social diversity, on the other. From the preaching and action of Jesus Christ, it is understood that all people are children of God and, therefore, equal in essence, although different in their particularities.
