Hold your horses, soldiers. I did not mean in any way to insult Mikey, mainly because he's my favorite character of the TMNT Franchise. Sorry that I may killed some people with my ADHD comment and that I might be put in to prison because of it, but there was a reason I put a question mark after "ADHD Problem". If you haven't figured it out yet, it was because I wasn't sure. I had read that Mikey had ADHD on his page a long time ago, and I assumed it was true, but the statement disappeared a while back, making me unsure of whether or not Mikey did have ADHD. Although it hasn't been officially stated, it would make sense if they did reveal that Mikey had that disorder. Even so, Mikey stated himself that he had a short attention span and he shows several symptoms (unwillingness to sit still / too hyperactive, inability to learn things very well, forgetfulness, etc.) so it might as well be an accurate Fan Specualtion.

Secondly, I don't think I was insulting him (Sorry if I appeared that I was), but I just think there needs to be an episode that centers on Mikey's flaws, just because the others had. Leo has been smittened by Kurai and his responsiblities as a leader, Raph with his short temper and his fear cockroaches (maybe his competitiveness with Leo), Donnie with his tendancy to overthink (extensive thinking) and dependence on technolgy, while Mikey has his problems with being too friendly. Although Mikey on occassion does show flaws (forgetful, short attention span, hyperactive) it's been mostly used as a running gag or comical relief. Mikey has yet to recieve any advice / lecture / lesson from Splinter while the others had already. I want an episode in the future that focusses on Mikey's flaws a bit more and perhaps gets his own lesson from Splinter, like his brothers.
