“…During the 2018 convention of ADHD experts, it was implied that clinicians should steer away from adhering strictly to cut-offs when using rating scales, due to compromised specificity and sensitivity of diagnostic criteria when diagnosing females (Young et al, 2020). Babinski et al (2021) identified a sex-specific ADHD symptom cut-off for girls that was lower than the symptom threshold afforded by DSM-5 criteria. Young et al (2020) remarked that psychiatric comorbidities in females with ADHD are more internalized, and although they may often be secondary to ADHD itself, they may be diagnosed as primary disorders.…”

“…Conversely, females struggling with treatment resistant anxiety or depression or presenting with these issues in the context of a family history of ADHD, should be screened for ADHD. In particular, Babinski et al (2021) allude that among girls with subthreshold levels of ADHD, symptoms of depression or oppositional defiant disorder may be considered indicators which prompt for further screening. Camara et al (2022) suggest evaluation of hormonal status in females with ADHD should be a component of holistic treatment plans.…”

“…We did not use gender-specific norms for grouping the children, but rather a general cut-off percentile of ≥90/z-score ≥1.28 to classify children as having ADHD symptoms. Gender-specific norms are commonly used in questionnaires designed to assess ADHD (e.g., FBB-ADHS [50]) and in related research (see [56,57] for a discussion). However, using gender-specific norms might contribute to an underestimation of the effect of gender.…”

“…D. Mowlem et al, 2019). Some studies have indicated differences in symptoms between males and females with ADHD, with males having more attention problems, hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms, oppositional and conduct disordered behavior, or delinquent and aggressive behavior (Arnett et al, 2015; D. Babinski et al, 2021; Childress et al, 2019; Coxe et al, 2021; Hasson & Fine, 2012; Lau et al, 2021; Loyer Carbonneau et al, 2021; F.…”
