MENTAL HEALTH
ADHD In Women and Girls
School
In school, women with ADHD get overlooked by their peers and teachers. They tend to have inattentive ADHD and don’t cause visible behavioral issues like hyperactive or impulsive ADHD.
There is also a tendency to hyperfocus on subjects that interest them, leading teachers and parents to overlook their ADHD. As adults, they may feel frustrated that their high school peers surpass them despite being equally qualified and intelligent.
