Question 1

What are the gender differences in parental responses to their daughters and sons with ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that there are gender differences in parental responses to their daughters and sons with ADHD. Parents of daughters with ADHD are more likely to report internalizing symptoms such as anxiety and depression, while parents of sons with ADHD are more likely to report externalizing symptoms such as aggression and conduct problems. Additionally, parents of daughters with ADHD may be more likely to seek help for their child's symptoms, while parents of sons with ADHD may be more likely to attribute their behavior to typical boyhood behavior. These differences in parental responses may impact the way in which girls and boys with ADHD are diagnosed and treated, and highlight the importance of considering gender differences in the assessment and management of ADHD.
