ABSTRACT

In the autumn, as we enter the fifth year, Douglas is eleven years old. Douglas has started to attend a school closer to his home and his school days are longer. He is in a class called "the little class", which consists of nine boys and one girl. The two teachers have many years' experience of teaching children with ADHD. To get to therapy on time on Mondays, Douglas has to leave school before a cookery lesson is over. Unfortunately, he has time to bake and cook food but not to stay and eat it with his classmates. He thoroughly enjoys cooking and loves good food. He needs and appreciates the rules, both at school and at therapy, even though he does not always succeed in following them. If this had happened a couple of years ago, Douglas would have sworn and shouted that he could "not find a single thought to start with".
