* {{Ambiguous Disorder}}: It’s possible to interpret Jeanette as having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). Common symptoms of ADHD are things such as struggling to keep organised and tardiness. In one episode the Principal describes Jeanette’s brain as working “in a different way” to hers or Brittney’s. ADHD can be viewed as similar to multi-tasking and isn’t necessarily a weakness as ADHD people tend to be smart, think outside the box, be creative, and focusing on different things all at once, and these are all qualities Jeanette has.
** It’s also possible that Alvin could have ADHD or potentially a learning disability.
** Some believe Simon might suffer from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).

* PoliceAreUseless: Officer Dangus is shown to be less than a reasonable authority figure, usually bungling things up even moreso whenever he tries to diffuse certain situations. In "Ride Along," Alvin learns he's on the verge of being terminated from the force for being such a lousy cop; the fact that he hadn't had any leads in a recent string of bike thefts didn't help his case much either.
