Our local paper ("The Hartford Courant") had two long articles about ADHD in
the magazine section 5/26/96; it was rather interesting, and fairly well
balanced. One thing that it did is go into the history of the condition,
going back to the turn of the century.
The article is on the web at
http://www.courant.com/news/adhdmain.htm
Don't be put off by the first line or two about "defect of moral control";
the term was not used the way it might be today, but rather meant a lack of
self-restraint.
