ADHD diagnosis gap for girls from immigrant backgrounds
Girls from multilingual and immigrant families could be missing out on ADHD support, according to new research from the University of East Anglia.
AI Summary
New research from the University of East Anglia indicates that girls from multilingual and immigrant families are at risk of missing ADHD support. While ADHD is already underrecognized in girls because their symptoms tend to be less visible than boys’, the study highlights that language and cultural factors may further delay diagnosis. This delay could prevent affected girls from receiving essential assistance during critical educational years.
