Is ADHD Different in Girls?
Traditionally thought of as something more related to boys, most people don’t consider that girls can have just as much difficulty with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In fact, ADHD is often referred to as a “hidden disorder” in girls, and with good reason. Most girls with ADHD have the inattentive type, which means that they have problems focusing but are not hyperactive and impulsive, according to childmind.org.

“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”
