ADHD is an example of a neuropsychiatric impairment (NPF), which is due to a different development of the brain in a person. This change causes the central nervous system to deteriorate the individual's ability to concentrate and control impulses. The size of the problems varies between individuals, but there is help so that everyday life can function. Knowledge about ADHD and its impact on both boys and girls has increased over time, but there are still large knowledge gaps regarding girls with ADHD. The lack of understanding regarding gender differences in ADHD diagnosis led to girls being diagnosed later than boys, who generally receive more support at school than girls. This is because girls' symptoms are different from boys', which can lead to them not being noticed similarly. The purpose of the essay is to highlight the challenges that girls with ADHD face at school. The importance of increasing awareness of gender differences in ADHD symptoms is to identify and meet the special needs of girls and to ensure they receive the right help. The importance of various interventions and strategies to support them and reduce the negative consequences of ADHD problems in girls' lives. The method we use is to create a literature review as a guarantee to increase the relevance and reliability of the study. This mainly concerns the problems girls must be aware of to receive a diagnosis and treatment in time. Their symptoms and signs of ADHD are different from the boys', which means that the teachers do not notice them, and they are left without support and help. In our conclusion, we have concluded that the girls' challenges due to ADHD have a major impact on their learning and social relationships. Teachers and parents play an important role in identifying the girls' problems early and providing the right support. There is a need for increased understanding of these students' special needs.
