Case by Jan Scholten.
Boy, 14, ADHD.He has concentration problems and is easily distracted. It is diagnosed as attention deficit and hyperactivity syndrome.
The contact with other children is very difficult. He is not shy, but is wild and loud and touches other children without their permission.
He frequently has infections of nose, throat and ears. Often his nose is obstructed so that he has to sniff very frequently.
His pregnancy was difficult and mother had to lie down for a long time, which was a quite a burden. It was her second pregnancy and it was heavy as she lost her baby in the first pregnancy in the 26th week. The labour was 10 weeks too early.
As a baby, he was crying all the time. It was only better by being carried. He could only sleep in a sling carried by his mother. Riding in a pram or car didn’t help.
His sleep has always been a problem. He was always restless in his sleep, trampling his legs. He could only fall asleep when his mother was with him. He couldn‘t sleep in his own room till the age of 12. When he was waking he went to his parents room again. He had a fear of the dark. He could also have nightmares that he was confused in his room.
School has been a problem. In the kindergarten, he was wild and rude, started destroying and pushing things. He could be malicious, beating other children. It got worse because he felt excluded. He was always the last one to be chosen. He has difficultly making contact because he is so rude. He only has one friend who has the same hobbies as he. He often feels bullied when others laugh at him and make grimaces.
He is very restless and can sit only when he watches television. He cannot organise himself. He always wants to be right, wants to command others. He seldom admits he is wrong. He is chaotic and never cleans the room.
In the primary school he needed total structure to do what was needed. He needed therapy to learn how to learn. He always had the idea that he has to learn for the teachers instead of for himself. In high school he often feels bored, as he has a lot of free time and no tasks. He is very intelligent and doing well at school. He has an aversion to mathematics. He‘s very interested in history. As a profession he would like to become racing driver or constructing cars.
He has a lack of self-worth which is worse by all the negative remarks of his classmates. He likes to read magazines but he doesn‘t like to read books.
He is an only child and he has a good contact with his mother but also frequently fights with her about school and homework. The contact with his father is good but without fights. They like do things together like hiking, building hotels, skiing, motor sport and the like.
He is impulsive, and he can weep hysterically when something is failing. He is not very anxious but careful in the traffic. He is not a team player, when he plays soccer he wants to be the one who scores.
