A generation ago, ADHD was widely considered a condition for boys. Girls were thought to have anxiety or conduct problems, but not ADHD. What’s more, some medical professionals even insisted the condition vanished after puberty.
We now know that girls and boys are at equal risk for developing ADHD, and that it is often 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. The good news is that knowledge is power, and we know much more about ADHD in women than we once did.
