'There's still a tendency to think that, if a girl doesn't meet the mold of the fidgety, squirmy kid who can't sit still in the waiting room, they can't have ADHD.'WomensHealthMonth adhdinwomen
A generation ago, ADHD was widely considered a condition for boys. Girls may have anxiety or conduct problems, but not ADHD. What’s more, even some medical professionals insisted the condition vanished after puberty.
We now know that girls and boys are at equal risk for developing ADHD, and that it can often be a lifetime condition for either gender. What’s more, girls and women with ADHD have a tougher time making it through the world than do boys and men. The stigma surrounding ADHD is oftentimes stronger for women, which may delay assessment and intervention — especially when inattentive-type symptoms are mistaken for something else.
