Regeringen nedsætter komité til at gennemgå ADHD blandt unge

Regeringen har besluttet at nedsætte en komité, der skal undersøge årsagerne til stigningen i ADHD- og autismediagnoser blandt børn og unge. Gruppen skal desuden foreslå forbedringer af støtten på en række områder.

Socialminister Jakob Forssmed præsenterede beslutningen på et pressemøde. Han understregede, at børn og unge med neuropsykiatriske diagnoser har brug for bedre forudsætninger for at nå deres potentiale og udvikle sig.

Baggrunden er en markant stigning i diagnoser, som er tydelig inden for børne- og ungdomspsykiatrien. Komitéen skal undersøge, hvordan støtten kan styrkes i skolen, sundhedsvæsenet, fritidsaktiviteter og ved indgangen til arbejdsmarkedet.

Mathias Wahlsten, generaldirektør for Inspektionen for arbejdsløshedsforsikring, skal lede arbejdet. Resultaterne skal rapporteres den 1. december 2027.
