Don't look at me. My parents kept me in the dark. I have no book
definition for it. Apparently I have grown out of it as I stopped
taking Ritalin in fifth grade and it hasn't been talked about since.

Again don't ask me. I haven't even thought of it in years and
probably the only people besides my family who even know if (aside from
the 300 people on this list) are in Kansas.....haven't had to worry
about Schools etc in Michigan....so I wouldn't know about labeling....
