Ahhhh I hate that. It sucks because I get the sense that if the kid isn't a still quiet angel choir boy his parents are gonna want to label him everything under the sun.
Some people argue that we're pathologizing normal boy behavior with regard to ADHD specifically, because the gender split is very disproportionate.
I think that's possible, however, an alternative explanation could be that it's legit, and boys are just more prone to some disorders and girls are to others. Who knows? The whole thing is way less precise and objective than it would be in a perfect world.
