Understanding the Differences in ADHD Symptoms between Boys and Girls

ADHD symptoms can manifest differently in boys and girls. Boys typically exhibit more hyperactive and impulsive behaviors that are easier to recognize, like running around, getting into trouble, and being disruptive in class. This behavior often leads to disciplinary action and treatment. On the other hand, girls with ADHD, primarily the inattentive type, may not display obvious symptoms of hyperactivity or impulsivity. As a result, they might go unnoticed as they struggle with focusing, paying attention, and retaining information. This can lead to them being perceived as less intelligent. It is essential to understand these differences in symptoms between boys and girls to provide appropriate recognition and support for individuals with ADHD.
