Abstract
Most of the systematic longitudinal studies of children with the hyperkinetic reaction/minimal brain dysfunction syndrome/attention deficit disorder (HK/MBD/ADD) had their beginnings in the numerous investigations of the effects of stimulant medication that were carried out between the mid 50’s and mid 60’s. Many of these children reached adolescence in the early 70’s, and they are becoming adults in the late 70’s and 80’s. Almost no prospectively diagnosed HK/MBD/ADD children have yet entered their 30th year. We are therefore beginning to see the first studies describing adult outcomes in HK/MBD/ADD (Feldman, Denhoff and Denhoff, 1979; Milman, 1979; Wiess, Hectman and Perlman, 1978; Weiss, Hechtman, Perlman, Hopkins and Wener, 1979) and testing potential predictors of those adult outcomes (Hectman, Weiss, Perlman and Amsel, 1981).
