I think girls and women are often overlooked and failed by the system when it comes to ADHD and Autism. Girls and women are taught by society to fit in and not rock the boat. I think that's why they're better at masking; it's a social necessity. That and the very different neurochemical makeups across the gender spectrum. Because these disorders continue to be viewed through the erroneous paradigm of 'How well does this child fit in? How well do they perform in a classroom?' -- something which is evident in the very name of ADHD -- boys and men are more likely to get caught by the system early on. Girls and women are often failed by it.
