The main topic of this paper is how children with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (also, known as ADHD) live and learn. I have examined a child named Alex, who is 9 years old today. I have lived with Alex for 4 years of his life. Alex has been diagnosed as an ADHD child at the age of 4 and a half.

Since he thinks he can stay up until midnight, he will either try to negotiate initially then move towards a terrorist. He will start to threaten people's lives verbally.
