One of the reasons there's a stereotype of #ADHD being a “boys” thing is bc generally girls/women’s symptoms tend to manifest inwardly & often don’t “affect” others. As a result, faaar fewer girls get diagnosed as children, thus needlessly suffering in silence their whole lives.

Gender bias in psychological and medical diagnosis is wild. The fact that clinical anger management is a 'man's issue' is the reason I was undiagnosed for literal years and was just seen as a 'bitchy person'.

Yeah it's appalling, hey. Also, inability to control anger is actually one of the guiding criteria for ADHD diagnosis (because of our emotional dysregulation) - so that was really validating. For the first time I felt seen & understood in my anger, and it wasn't just dismissed.
