Inattentive ADHD

The inattentive presentation is thought to be the most common subtype among those with ADHD although it is often diagnosed later in life for many due to the signs being less obvious.

ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition—it often persists into adulthood, sometimes undiagnosed for years. Many adults realize they might have ADHD after a lifetime of unexplained struggles.

ADHD has often been thought of as a male condition meaning that girls and women often miss a diagnosis or receive one later in life, which can prevent them from accessing appropriate support.
