INyanga yeSizwe yoKwazisa nge-ADHD
“Ndiziva njengoyena mama umbi ngonaphakade. Njani zange ndayibona usemncinci? Bendingazi ukuba utsala nzima ngolu hlobo!”
Yindlela awasabela ngayo umama xa ndamxelela ukuba xa yayineminyaka engama-26 ubudala, intombi yakhe yafunyaniswa ukuba inengxaki yokungakwazi ukunikela ingqalelo/yokungakwazi ukuwenza kakuhle umsebenzi (ADHD).
Kakade ke, akanakuthwala uxanduva ngokungayiboni – akukho mntu uyibonileyo. Xa ndandisengumntwana ndisiya esikolweni phaya ekupheleni kweminyaka yee-90s nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-2000, amantombazana ayengafundi. uthole I-ADHD.
Ngokobuchwephesha, i-ADHD yayingengokuxilongwa. Emva phaya, sasiyibiza ngokuba yi- attention deficit disorder, okanye i-ADD, kwaye elo gama laligcinelwe abantwana abanjengomzala wam, uMichael. Uyalwazi uhlobo. Akazange akwazi ukuqhubela phambili kwaneyona misebenzi isisiseko, akazange awenze umsebenzi wakhe wesikolo wasekhaya, akazange anikele ngqalelo esikolweni, kwaye engakwazi ukuhlala uthe cwaka xa umhlawula. Yayingamakhwenkwe aphazamisayo abangela ingxaki emva kwegumbi lokufundela engazange ahoye kwaye aphazamise utitshala phakathi kwesifundo. Yayingeyontombazana ezolileyo eyayikulangazelela ukufunda nayiphi na incwadi eyayinokuzifumana, eyayidlala imidlalo yaza yafumana amanqaku amahle. Hayi. Ndandingumfundi ongumzekelo. Kutheni umntu ekholelwa ukuba ndine-ADHD?
Ibali lam aliqhelekanga, kananjalo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, yamkelwa ngokubanzi ukuba i-ADHD yimeko efumaneka ikakhulu kumakhwenkwe nakumadoda. Ngokutsho kwaBantwana naBantu Abadala abane-ADHD (CHADD), amantombazana afunyaniswa engaphantsi nje kwesiqingatha somlinganiselo wokufunyaniswa kwamakhwenkwe.[1] Ngaphandle kokuba babonisa kunye neempawu ezichazwe ngasentla (ingxaki yokuhlala, ukuphazamisa, ukuqala okanye ukugqiba imisebenzi, ukungxama), amantombazana kunye nabasetyhini abane-ADHD bahlala bengahoywa - nokuba bayasokola.
Into abantu abaninzi abangayiqondiyo malunga ne-ADHD kukuba ibonakala ihluke kakhulu kubantu abahlukeneyo. Namhlanje, uphando luchongile iintetho ezintathu eziqhelekileyo ye-ADHD: ukungakhathaleli, i-hyperactive-impulsive, kwaye idibene. Iimpawu ezinje nge-fidgeting, impulsivity, kunye nokungakwazi ukuhlala phantsi zonke zinxulunyaniswa ne-hyperactive-impulsive presentation kwaye zezona zinto abantu bahlala bezinxulumanisa nokuxilongwa kwe-ADHD. Nangona kunjalo, ubunzima kwintlangano, imingeni enokuphazanyiswa, ukuphepha umsebenzi, kunye nokulibala zonke iimpawu ezinzima kakhulu ukuzibona kwaye zonke zihambelana nokungabonakali kwemeko, exhaphake kakhulu kubasetyhini kunye namantombazana. Mna ngokobuqu ndifunyanwe ndinenkcazo-ntetho edibeneyo, oko kuthetha ukuba ndibonisa iimpawu kuzo zombini iindidi.
Embindini wayo, i-ADHD yimeko yemithambo-luvo kunye nokuziphatha echaphazela imveliso yengqondo kunye nokuthatha i-dopamine. I-Dopamine yikhemikhali esengqondweni yakho ekunika loo mvakalelo yokwaneliseka kunye nolonwabo olufumana ngokwenza umsebenzi owuthandayo. Kuba ingqondo yam ayivelisi le khemikhali ngendlela efanayo nengqondo ye-neurotypical, kufuneka yenze ubuchule malunga nendlela endizibandakanya ngayo nemisetyenzana “edikayo” okanye “ephantsi kokuvuselela”. Enye yezi ndlela kukuziphatha okubizwa ngokuba “kukukhuthaza,” okanye izenzo eziphindaphindwayo ezijoliswe ukunika uvuselelo kwingqondo engasebenzi kakuhle (apha kulapho kuvela khona ukungqungqa okanye ukuchola iinzipho). Yindlela yokuqhatha iingqondo zethu ukuba zivuselelwe ngokwaneleyo ukuba zenze umdla kwinto esingayi kuba nomdla kuyo ngenye indlela.
Xa sijonga emva, iimpawu zazikho ngokuqinisekileyo…asizange siyazi ukuba masijonge ntoni ngelo xesha. Ngoku ukuba ndenze uphando olungakumbi malunga nokuxilongwa kwam, ekugqibeleni ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba ndihlale ndimamele umculo xa ndisenza umsebenzi wesikolo owenzelwa ekhaya, okanye ukuba kwakunokwenzeka njani ukuba ndicule kunye neengoma zeengoma. lo gama Ndifunde incwadi (enye ye-ADHD yam "amandla amakhulu," ndicinga ukuba ungayibiza). Okanye kwakutheni ukuze ndisoloko ndisenza i-doodling okanye ndichola iinzipho ngexesha leklasi. Okanye kwakutheni ukuze ndikhethe ukwenza umsebenzi wam wesikolo owenzelwa ekhaya phantsi kunokuba ndiwenzele edesikeni okanye etafileni. Ngokubanzi, iimpawu zam azizange zibe nempembelelo embi kwindlela endiqhuba ngayo esikolweni. Bendingumntwana obhanxayo.
Kwakungekho de ndaphumelela kwikholeji kwaye ndaya kwihlabathi "lokwenyani" apho ndacinga ukuba kukho into eyahluke kakhulu kum. Xa usesikolweni, iintsuku zakho zonke zibekwe kuwe. Umntu uyakuxelela xa kufuneka uye eklasini, abazali bayakuxelela xa ilixesha lokutya, abaqeqeshi bayakwazisa xa kufuneka uzilolonge kwaye wenze ntoni. Kodwa emva kokuba uphumelele kwaye uphume endlwini, kufuneka uzenzele isigqibo malunga naloo nto. Ngaphandle kweso sakhiwo kwiintsuku zam, bendihlala ndizifumana ndikwimeko "yokukhubazeka kwe-ADHD." Bendiya kukhwankqiswa kukwenzeka okungapheliyo kwezinto kangangokuba andizange ndikwazi kwaphela ukugqiba ukuba yeyiphi na inyathelo endiza kulithatha kwaye ke ngoko ndingagqibela ndingenzanga nto.
Kulapho ndaqala khona ukuphawula ukuba kwakunzima kum ukuba “ngumntu omdala” kunokuba kwakunjalo koontanga bam abaninzi.
Uyabona, abantu abadala abane-ADHD babambekile kwi-22 yokubamba: sifuna ulwakhiwo kunye nesiqhelo ukusinceda ukulwa neminye imiceli mngeni esijongene nayo. umsebenzi olawulayo, echaphazela amandla omntu okulungelelanisa nokubeka phambili imisebenzi, kwaye inokwenza ulawulo lwexesha lube ngumzabalazo omkhulu. Ingxaki kukuba, sikwafuna izinto ukuba zingaqikeleleki kwaye zibe mnandi ukwenza ingqondo yethu ibandakanyeke. Ke, ngelixa ukuseta iinkqubo kunye nokulandela ishedyuli engaguqukiyo zizixhobo eziphambili abantu abaninzi abane-ADHD abasebenzisa ukulawula iimpawu zabo, sihlala sikuthiya ukwenza into enye imihla ngemihla (isiqhelo) kwaye sichasene nokuxelelwa ukuba mabenze ntoni (njengokulandela i- seta ishedyuli).
Njengoko unokucinga, oku kunokubangela ingxaki emsebenzini. Kum, ihlala ijongeka njengobunzima bokucwangcisa kunye nokubeka phambili imisebenzi, imiba yolawulo lwexesha, kunye nokucwangcisa ingxaki kunye nokulandela iiprojekthi ezinde. Esikolweni, oku kwabonakala njengokusoloko kungxala iimvavanyo nokushiya amaphepha ukuba abhalwe kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba zifike. Nangona esi sicwangciso sinokundifumana kwi-undergrad ngokwaneleyo, sonke siyazi ukuba akuphumelelanga kangako kwihlabathi lobuchwephesha.
Ke, ndiyilawula njani i-ADHD yam ukuze ndikwazi ukulinganisa umsebenzi kwaye isikolo isidanga ngelixa ngaxeshanye ulala ngokwaneleyo, imithambo rhoqo, ukugcina kunye nemisebenzi yasekhaya, ukufumana ixesha lokudlala nenja yam, kunye hayi uyavutha…? Inyaniso kukuba, andikwenzi. Ubuncinci hayi lonke ixesha. Kodwa ndiyaqinisekisa ukuba ndibeka phambili ukuzifundisa kwaye ndibandakanya izicwangciso ezivela kwizixhobo endizifumana kwi-intanethi. Okothusayo kukuba, ndifumene indlela yokusebenzisa amandla eendaba zoluntu ngokulungileyo! Okumangalisayo kukuba, uninzi lolwazi lwam malunga neempawu ze-ADHD kunye neendlela zokulawula zivela kubadali bomxholo we-ADHD kwiTiktok kunye ne-Instagram.
