gender, neurodivergence, speculating 

Wondering what the research says, if anything, on how gender queerness may impact the presentation of or detection of various disorders and neurodivergences with known differences across genders.

We know that ADHD is under-diagnosed in cis women, for example, but how many trans women were presenting female-coded ADHD from a young age without anyone noticing because it didn't look like "male" ADHD?

@jaycie As far as I can tell there's really no difference to how it presents itself depending on sex, the lack of diagnosis seems to stem from stereotypes.

re: gender, neurodivergence, speculating 

@ChlorideCull Almost certainly a combination of gendered socializing, stereotypes, and real physiological/neurological differences.
