The Representation of ADHD on Social Interaction in the Novel A List of Cages

---

This research examines the representation of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the novel A List of Cages by Robin Roe using
Stuart Hall's theory of representation, which includes reflective, intentional,
and constructionist approaches. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the
character of Adam, a teenager with ADHD, is represented in the context of his
social interaction. The method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive
analysis through indepth reading. The results show that Adam's representation
reflects the symptoms of ADHD as known in the real world (reflective), reflects
the author's intention to foster empathy for neurodivergence conditions
(intentional), and is shaped through narrative and social relations in the story
(constructionist). The ADHD in the novel is not only presented as a medical
condition, but also as part of the character's identity and social dynamics. This
study contributes to the literary study of neurodivergence by highlighting how
works of fiction shape and convey meaning through character representation.
