Diagnosis of adhd, the cause and consequence. A study about the teachers thought about it.The purpose of this study was to examine teachers experience and views about children diagnosed with adhd, and what implication and effects it gives to the pedagogy strategies in the classroom.This is a qualitative study based on the experience of six teachers from primary school. My results have been compiled and compared to special educational research about adhd, from three different perspectives.The results showed that the teachers who have been working as teachers for a longer period, think that the problems of adhd occur primarily due to environmental causes, but then also say that they think the individual causes matters. It is also these teachers that talks very well about medication as a treatment to cure adhd symptoms. The teachers who have worked the shortest time, most of them have some special education from the teacher education.

Huvudsyftet med studien är att undersöka pedagogers kunskaper om ADHD och huruvida kunskapen om ADHD har betydelse för pedagogers bemötande med elever med ADHD. Utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod har vi gjort semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem pedagoger, alla verksamma inom skola och fritidshem. Resultaten visade att kunskapen fanns om elever med ADHD, även om informanterna menade att de saknade kunskap så berättade de något annat, vilket visade på en omedvetenhet om sin kunskap om elever med ADHD. Informanterna hade valt strategier som i litteraturen beskrevs som framgångsrika. En god relation, tydlig struktur, individanpassning, föräldrasamverkan och anpassade arbetsmetoder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of the diagnoses ADHD and DAMP within different professional categories in the educational system, how it is being addressed and how this affect their work with children diagnosed with ADHD or DAMP. We also wanted to shed some light on the debate between Kärfve and Gillberg, about whether the diagnoses of ADHD and DAMP are social constructed problems or biological and genetic disorders. More specifically, our study was of a qualitative nature and consisted of interviews with seven persons working in six different professions within the educational system. The respondents all worked in school environments but with varied roles and thus varied experience of children with ADHD/DAMP. The interviews and literature studies revealed the complexity of ADHD and DAMP and also the diversity of the debate regarding the diagnoses.

Studien beskriver och analyserar några pedagogers syn på likheter och skillnader hos flickor och pojkar med diagnosen ADHD i grundskoleåldrarna samt de pedagogiska konsekvenserna av detta. Studien är kvalitativ och bygger på intervjuer med verksamma pedagoger. Frågeställningarna hur symptomen för ADHD yttrar sig hos pojkar respektive flickor, hur diagnosfördelningen ser ut samt pedagogiska strategier för ADHD ur ett genusperspektiv besvaras. Resultatet visar att ett mörkertal finns bland diagnostisering av ADHD hos flickor och att deras symtombild är svårare att upptäcka än hos pojkar. Detta beror på att pojkar ofta uppvisar tydligare hyperaktivitet samt att diagnosmanualerna dels är anpassade efter graden av hyperaktivitet.

To live in a relationship demands hard work with good communications, mutual respect, compromises, empathy and an understanding of your partners feelings and needs. For a person with ADHD all of this can cause difficulties and create a strained relationship, but it can also mean a relationship with thrills, adventure, spontaneity and passion. This study is built on a qualitative method using triangulation, where the studies empirical materials consist of 4 interviews along with observations online. The empirical material is applied on the theories: love, conflict and coping. The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of how it is to live in a relationship with a partner who has been diagnosed with ADHD. The questions at issue are: How does everyday life work with a partner who has ADHD? What different aspects (positive and negative) are there to live in a relationship with a partner that has ADHD? How is the possible if any help and support perceived in their relationship and everyday life? The results showed that a relationship with a partner that has ADHD looks like any other relationship, but that it can differ due to the possible difficulties that are at hand.

Discussions about the democratic deficit of the European Union have gotten more intense and the criticism usually points towards a great gap between the citizens and the EU politics. In this study the political communication policy is being put under the scope to investigate to what extent the policy is designed to counter the democratic deficit, supported by the theory of deliberative democracy. The analysis examines three aspects of the deficit ? decentralization, participation and the distribution of information ? and makes research into the communicative measures that have been implemented. The importance for EU to make deliberation possible is stressed throughout the essay and in the conclusion I argue that improvements still need to be made.  .

ADHD is the fastest growing diagnosis of the last decade and there is an ongoing debate about how ADHD should be understood with a psychosocial perspective opposed to a medical perspective. The purpose of this study was to investigate how a Swedish daily and evening newspaper (Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter) portrays ADHD. Further, the study asked whether medical or social explanation is used in the discourse that appears in newspaper articles, how ADHD is described as well as which people are quoted in the articles. In this study we used Norman Fairclough´s critical discourse analysis with the 26 sampled articles which we believe highlight different perspectives on ADHD diagnosis.Our study shows that there are representatives cited in the articles from school, the judiciary and the medical field. However representatives from social work are conspicuous by their absence.
