More often than not, adults
More often than not, adults suspect ADHD, but decide that the child is not having enough trouble to refer them for assessment. They wait until the child displays academic or severe social problems before seeking out a diagnosis, but this is a mistake according to Littman (2012). Girls mature faster neurobiologically, than boys do, so they don’t need to perform as poorly as boys of the same age, in order to be deficient enough to need help (O’Brien et al., 2010).
Showing these girls that someone cares, and pointing out their academic successes, can help protect them from some of the more significant risk factors of ADHD. In fact, “one of the most powerful interventions that parents [and teachers] can offer is a consistent sense of hope” (Littman, 2012). However, early identification and intervention is key to help lessen the impact ADHD has on the lives of those who have the disorder, their families, their peers, and their teachers.
