顶尖心理学家警告说，性别偏见使许多患有注意缺陷多动障碍（又称多动症）的女性无法被确诊。
Research suggests ADHD is three to four times more likely to be detected in childhood in boys as they tend to exhibit more disruptive behaviours.
研究表明，多动症在男孩童年时期被发现的可能性比在女孩童年时期高出三到四倍，因为男孩往往表现出更具扰乱性的行为。
The symptoms in girls tend to be more subtle: less hyperactive, more inattentive. The diagnoses gap between males and females appears to shrink in adulthood1, but psychologists say the bias2 can remain.
女孩的症状往往不大明显：她们没那么多动亢奋，而是更多地表现在注意力不集中。成年后，男性和女性之间的诊断差距似乎缩小了，但心理学家指出，这一偏见可能仍然存在。
The ADHD Foundation says increased awareness3 is needed in health and educational settings about how the condition can present differently. A late diagnosis4 can negatively impact on relationships, careers, and mental health.
注意缺陷多动障碍基金会表示，人们需要提高医疗和教育领域对这种疾病的认识，明白它有不同的临床表现。延迟诊断可能会给人际关系、职业和心理健康带来负面影响。
