And that is why we do not give Adderall to people without adhd.
We also don't give Adderall to people with ADHD.
Girls used to be diagnosed 25x less often than girls, now it's only 3x less often. ADHD occurs at the same rates between genders. Girls are just more heavily conditioned and disciplined into gender conforming behavior, which involves sitting still, being quiet, paying attention, and 'behaving well'. Girls with ADHD symptoms are treated as troublesome kids, without the leniency towards boys with ADHD.
This doesn't cure girls of ADHD, it just makes them internalize their suffering at the cost of their mental health. Speaking as a woman who wasn't diagnosed and medicated until my late 20s.
Calling out the systems discrimination of girls and women with ADHD symptoms isn't knocking others down. That's like treating feminism as a personal attack on you because speaking up about women's issues is an act of putting men down.
Think of how little leniency you get as a boy with ADHD. Now think about how girls and women don't even get that, and are even more frequently punished for 'acting out' their ADHD symptoms due to a failure to conform to their gender roles.
There are many widely cited studies proving the prevalence of underdiagnosis of girls with ADHD, partly because the guidelines are decades old and derived from studies that deliberately excluded girls.
