Definition: An ill-defined disorder of uncertain nosological validity. The category is designed to include a group of children with severe mental retardation (IQ below 35) who show major problems in hyperactivity and in attention, as well as stereotyped behaviours. They tend not to benefit from stimulant drugs (unlike those with an IQ in the normal range) and may exhibit a severe dysphoric reaction (sometimes with psychomotor retardation) when given stimulants. In adolescence, the overactivity tends to be replaced by underactivity (a pattern that is not usual in hyperkinetic children with normal intelligence). This syndrome is also often associated with a variety of developmental delays ...[+++], either specific or global. The extent to which the behavioural pattern is a function of low IQ or of organic brain damage is not known.

Definition: Involves a specific impairment in arithmetical skills that is not solely explicable on the basis of general mental retardation or of inadequate schooling. The deficit concerns mastery of basic computational skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division rather than of the more abstract mathematical skills involved in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, or calculus. | Developmental:acalculia | arithmetical disorder | Gerstmann's syndrome

While Canadians are waiting for a billion dollars in a medical equipment fund that could buy needed medical equipment if the bill were passed, members opposite discuss abstract innuendo and rhetoric.

For those people who don't need it, it's a lot of extra time and money, and sometimes it raises issues that they would be pretty well able to deal with if they had to deal with them as they came up, but when you put them in an abstract sense and sit them down at a table and say they have to agree on this before they get their divorce done, it causes problems.

Ms. Renee Pomerance: I suppose it's difficult to comment in the abstract, and invariably those sorts of discussions would involve the exercise of discretion based on the particular facts that are before that crown counsel.

When we talk about this being a choice for Canada and therefore parliamentarians should have their say in what choice Canada makes, I know that the government dismisses this whole thing as if it is some kind of abstract question.
