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.
