You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid Or Crazy?!: The Classic Self-Help Book For Adults With Attention Deficit Disorder - Plot & Excerpts
Chapter 10Gender Issues and SexualityADD comes in a rainbow assortment of flavors. We have the “bouncing off the wall” hyperactive types, the “never seem to wake up and get activated” folks and many varieties of activity level in between. Some of us, using almost superhuman effort, keep our noses bolted to the grindstone most of the time. Others are distractible butterflies who can’t stay with a single focus to save their lives. When you add in different learning styles, personality factors and other human differences, the variety is infinite.One of the most striking differences in how ADD presents itself has to do with gender. In the history of ADD awareness, the focus has been almost exclusively on males. That was because women and girls tend to have a more hidden, subtler form of the disorder. Only recently have researchers begun looking at how ADD manifests in girls and women. It used to be thought that there were as many as nine times more males than females with ADD. We now have research indicating that the ratio may be closer to two to one.
