Hyperactive boys and their brothers. A 25-year follow-up study
B. L. Borland and H. K. Heckman
Twenty men, who had conformed to diagnostic criteria for the hyperactive
child syndrome 20 to 25 years ago, and their brothers were interviewed. A
large majority of men who were hyperactive had completed high school, and
each was steadily employed and self-supporting. Half of the men who were
hyperactive continued to show a number of symptoms of hyperactivity. Nearly
half had problems of a psychiatric nature and despite normal intelligence
quota scores and levels of education, these men had not achieved a
socioeconomic status equal to that of their brothers or their fathers. Our
findings suggest that emotional problems in everyday living may result from
the persistance of symptoms of hyperactivity and that most social and
psychiatric consequences of the disorder relate to its presence in
childhood as well as to its persistance in adulthood.
