There is a sex/gender bias in several developmental disorders (e.g., ADHD and autism). During the past decades, evidence has accumulated that the core symptoms may differ between females and males. As the symptoms have been originally defined using male-biased populations without considering the role of possible sex/gender differences, it could be that developmental disorders are not detected as accurately in females as in males.

Abstract

There is a sex/gender bias in several developmental disorders (e.g., ADHD and autism). During the past decades, evidence has accumulated that the core symptoms may differ between females and males. As the symptoms have been originally defined using male-biased populations without considering the role of possible sex/gender differences, it could be that developmental disorders are not detected as accurately in females as in males. One factor that could make diagnostics more difficult and especially lead to misdiagnoses, is the role of comorbid disorders. We will here conduct a meta-analysis on the role of comorbid disorders in sex/gender differences in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We will first search to find the studies reporting data on sex/gender differences in ADHD. We will then categorize these studies according to the classes of comorbid disorders and relevant background factors
