Antecedents and outcomes of a later attention–deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis in females
Abstract
ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that later ADHD diagnosis is associated with significant negative outcomes by adolescence and disproportionately disadvantages females.Despite later diagnosis, there was clear evidence of childhood mental health and educational difficulties when compared with females without ADHD.Therefore, timely childhood ADHD diagnosis may help to mitigate later risks, especially for females.
