Ngaba iingxaki zokulala zingaphantsi kweempawu ze-ADHD?

Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, emva kokuba ndinike intetho malunga ne-ADHD kwiqela labaqeqeshi bezempilo, ilungu labaphulaphuli lalifuna ukwenza ingxelo. Uyazi ukuba i-ADHD ngabantu nje abangalali kakuhle, utshilo. Ndamxelela ngelo xesha ukuba ukulala kakubi kungenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi kodwa hayi, enyanisweni khange ndive oko, kwaye ndingathanda ukubona isifundo esiphakamisa oku.

Andizange ndive kuye, kodwa ngaphezulu kweminyaka elishumi kamva ndafumana olu phononongo lwamva nje oluzame ukulungisa le micimbi ngokwenza imisebenzi yokuqonda kunye nee-EEG phakathi kweqela labantu abadala abangama-81 abafunyaniswe bene-ADHD kunye nolawulo lwe-30.

Izifundo zaziswa elebhu kwaye zanikwa inani lemisebenzi yokujongana nekhompyuter ngelixa ababukeleyo belinganisa inqanaba labo lokulala. Baye bagcwalisa izikali zokulinganisa malunga neempawu zabo ze-ADHD kwaye bafumana kuvavanyo lwe-EEG, njengoko umsebenzi wangaphambili ubonakalisile ukuba isantya esitsala kwi-lobes yangaphambili sinokudityaniswa kunye ne-EEG kunye nokulala.

Uninzi lothelekiso lwesifundo lwenziwe phakathi kwe-ADHD kunye neqela lolawulo kodwa kolunye uhlalutyo, ababhali baphinde batshintsha abathathi-nxaxheba baba ngamaqela ama-3 ahlukeneyo: Izifundo ze-ADHD kunye nolawulo ababalwe njengabakulala kancinci ngexesha lovavanyo (iqela elilalayo) ; Izifundo ze-ADHD ezazingalali; kunye nezifundo zolawulo ezazingalali.

Ngokubanzi, ababhali bafumene abantu abadala abaninzi abane-ADHD bengakhange balale kakuhle kwaye babalwa njengabalala ngaphezu kolawulo ngexesha lokuqwalaselwa kwemisebenzi. Mhlawumbi okubaluleke ngakumbi, nangona kunjalo, unxibelelwano phakathi kokulala kunye nokusebenza kakubi kwengqondo kuhleli kubalulekile nasemva kokulawula amanqanaba eempawu ze-ADHD. Ngamanye amagama, ezinye zeengxaki zabo zokuqwalaselwa ezibonakala kule misebenzi zibonakala zinxulumene nokulala kwabo kwaye hayi nayiphi na ingxaki yoxinzelelo lwangaphakathi. Into enomdla kukuba, ezona zinto ziphambeneyo ze-EEG ezinje nge "lobe" yangaphambili yafunyanwa inxulumene kakhulu nenqanaba le-ADHD, nangona ikwabonisa unxibelelwano oluthile lokulala.

Ababhali baqukumbele ngelithi uninzi lwentsilelo yokuqonda enxulunyaniswa ngqo ne-ADHD inokubangelwa bubuthongo bomsebenzi. Babhala bathi “ubuthongo basemini budlala indima enkulu ekusebenzeni kwengqondo kubantu abadala abane-ADHD.”

Isifundo sinemiphumela ebalulekileyo. Ngelixa iiklinikhi kudala zisazi ukuba iingxaki zokulala zixhaphakile phakathi kwabo bafunyaniswe benesifo i-ADHD, inqanaba apho obu bunzima bunoxanduva lokujongana neengxaki zihlala zixatyiswa. Ezi datha zibonisa ukuba ukuba sinokunceda abantu abane-ADHD "nje" ukuba balale ngcono, iimpawu zabo zinokuphucuka.

Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kulula ukutsho kunokuba kwenziwe. Kwiklinikhi yokunyanga kwengqondo yabantwana nakwishumi elivisayo apho ndisebenza khona, sizama ukulumka ngawo onke amayeza, kubandakanya nalawo e-ADHD. Ukuba siva malunga neengxaki zokulala (kwaye sihlala sisenza kubazali abaqondayo abanokudana kubo), siyazama ukujongana nabo, kwaye olu phononongo lwentengiso luyayixhasa loo ndlela. Ngamanye amaxesha, kubandakanya ukwenza izindululo malunga nabantwana abafumana umthambo ngakumbi okanye bangadlali imidlalo yevidiyo kude kube sebusuku. Ngamanye amaxesha, kubandakanya ukufundisa iintsapho malunga nokucoceka kokulala-iindlela ezinokukhuthaza ukulala ixesha elide kunye nokuphumla. Kodwa ukulala rhoqo kuhlala kunzima ukulungisa kwaye emva koko umbuzo ube nokuba ungasebenzisi amayeza okulala, anokuba neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga njengeyeza le-ADHD. Nangona kunjalo, olu phononongo lusikhumbuza oogqirha ukuba bangahoyi iingxaki zokulala phakathi kwabo basokolayo ukulawula ingqalelo yabo.

Kubalulekile ukukhankanya ukuba loluphi olu phononongo ayenzi yithi, lelokuba uluvo olupheleleyo lwe-ADHD lunokuchotshelwa ukulala. Uninzi lwezifundo zophononongo zazingenangxaki zokulala kwaye zazingahlelwa njengabantu “abaleleyo” xa kujongwa. Ngaphaya koko, kuvavanyo lwe-EEG lubonise ukuba ezinye zeepateni ezicothayo zazibonisa ngakumbi ukuba unesifo se-ADHD kunokulala ungalali, into ababengayilindelanga ababhali. Ewe kunjalo, abaphandi banikezele imihlathi eliqela kwinto yokuba imvelaphi yeempawu ezithile ze-ADHD inokuvela kunikezelo lweoksijini ngaphambi okanye emva kokuzalwa. Oku kunokunceda ukudibanisa amachaphaza phakathi kophando lwangaphambili oludibanise i-ADHD kunye nobunzima bokuzalwa kunye nokutshaya koomama ngexesha lokukhulelwa.

Ukubuyela kumagqabantshintshi kwintetho yam kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, umntu owayendibuza imibuzo wayenenqaku, kwaye akufuneki siyijongele phantsi indima yokungalali kakuhle ekwenzeni abantu abasele bezabalazela ukuhlala begxile ngakumbi. Kwangelo xesha, siyabona kwakhona ukuba ukugxothwa okungaphaya kwe-ADHD kuza kufutshane phantsi koqwalaselo.
