Dr Keith Connors, whose work with hyperactive children established the first standards for diagnosing and treating what is now known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) died on July 5 in Durham, North Carolina, aged 84.
He had collaborated with others in the early 1960s, when what we now call ADHD began to take clearer shape, and probably knew more about what the disorder is, and is not, than anyone who has ever lived.
The field of child psychiatry was still young when Dr Conners joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the early 1960s as a clinical psychologist.
