No, although for many years boys received almost all of the ADHD diagnoses. This is because ADHD presents differently in boys and girls. For example, hyperactivity in boys is obvious – they can’t sit still or pay attention. Hyperactive girls, on the other hand, typically internalize their hyperactivity so it shows up as a chaotic mind (which they usually hide) and / or a hyperverbality where they talk all the time.
