- [ADHD and Gender Differences: What Every Teacher Needs to Know](https://iepfocus.com/adhd-and-gender-differences-what-every-teacher-needs-to-know/): ADHD presents differently across genders, yet diagnostic criteria and teacher referral patterns were built almost entirely around male presentations. Boys with ADHD are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed as girls (CDC, 2025), not because they have ADHD more often, but because their symptoms are louder and more disruptive.

The median autism diagnosis age for girls remains around 8 years old, versus 5 for boys (Epic Research, 2025).
