Some children have needed the medication, but many have been misunderstood, mistreated, mislabeled and misdiagnosed, because there has always been a subtle implication that something was always wrong with them, rather than something right. A child who was labeled different became a child with a deficit and a disorder. They were led to believe that they were of lesser value in the classroom and in society in general, because our school system rewards sameness and undervalues difference. The diagnosis of A.D.D. is not based on laboratory tests; on the contrary, it is based on observations made by professionals, parents and teachers. However, recently, within the last few decades, EGG neurological research has shown that children and adults with A.D.D. show different brain wave patterns. A.D.D. medications are thought to increase neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that are responsible for information processing throughout the

King Henry is prodigiously vexed by his inability to sleep. In addressing sleep itself, with the use of an apostrophe, he hopes to persuade it to fall upon him by asking various rhetorical questions.
