Re: ADHD

For the benefit of all, in answer to Jim McCullars, who wondered
about the different terms being used in the ADD/ADHD thread:

Sorry if my terminology was unfamiliar to some. Based on my review
of the literature, these are the terms that have been used in the
medical field for hyperactivity, in chronological order of usage from
earliest to current.

Hyperkinesis [early 1970s]
Minimal Brain Dysfunction (MBD) [late 1970s]
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) [1980s]
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [early 1990s]

Other related terminology :
Learning Disabled (broader term)
Attention Deficit Disorder, Residual Type (ADD, RT) [sometimes
applied to the approximately 50% of adults (mostly males) who do NOT
outgrow ADD after puberty]

I hope this helps; if you have to do any reading in this field, you
may run across any or all of these terms. YiS, Chris.
