Although a diagnosis of ADD is typically made in childhood, many people who suffer from the disorder don't seek treatment until they reach the age of adulthood. This is due in part to the fact that doctors tend to look for symptoms of ADD more common among boys, and also because ADD symptoms are not often recognized by women, who tend to hide their symptoms. Social Interruptions Women with ADHD are more sensitive to rejection and may have difficulties with social boundaries. They may engage in risky behaviors such as early sexual activity, more casual sex and more sexually transmitted diseases than women who do not have ADHD.
