ADHD Facts
-
Boys are 3x times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with ADHD, partly because hyperactive behaviors are easier to notice in the classroom.
-
Girls with ADHD are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed since their symptoms may appear as quiet inattention, anxiety, or low self-esteem rather than disruptive behavior.
-
In classrooms, children with undiagnosed ADHD are sometimes mislabeled as “lazy,” “unmotivated,” or “troublemakers,” which delays proper support.
