As much as 11% of school age and adolescent children in the U.S. have ADHD. There are several types of ADHD: hyperactive-impulsive, inattentive, and a combination of the two. Both boys and girls can get ADHD, but it is under reported in girls because their symptoms are not typical to the symptoms in boys.

Girls with ADHD may find it hard to concentrate. They may be unable to focus for long enough to complete a task at home or at school. However, if they find something interesting, they may be completely absorbed by it.
