Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition, more often diagnosed in males. In many individuals, particularly females, ADHD is diagnosed later or missed, the reasons for this are not fully understood. Timely diagnosis is needed to provide support, management, and treatment to improve outcomes. This study aimed to understand why some young people with ADHD experience later or missed diagnosis and to consider sex differences.
