Are more girls than boys diagnosed with ADHD?

Answer 1

Well you can look at it the scientific way. In gender genes boys are XY and girls are YY. Boys have more differenting genes which means it's easier for many learning disabilities and conditions to affect them.

AND

you can look at it socially. At a younger age, girls have higher academic expectations, since they mature faster. Its expected that they're organized while boys can often get teased by this. Since girls grow up with this and develope these skills, they cope better with ADD or ADHD.

Answer 2

The Center for Disease Control in the United States estimates that males have a four times greater risk of developing autism or an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) than females. Many studies have been undertaken to understand the link between gender and ASD diagnoses, but no general consensus on the cause for this imbalance has been agreed upon. Some experts believe that because the severity of symptoms can vary based on gender and hormone production, symptoms in females with ASDs might manifest differently from males altogether.

Others believe that it can be linked to birth order. In 2017, researchers at Harvard Medical School undertook in a study showing that families with one child diagnosed with an ASD had a higher risk of having a second child with a diagnosis, which confirmed conventional wisdom. But what the study also showed was that gender-specific birth order might have an effect on the condition. Males born to families that had a son diagnosed with an ASD showed a higher risk of developing a condition than other members of the study, and females born to families with a son diagnosed with an ASD showed the lowest risk among families who already had a diagnosis.

Answer 3
