Here you are - this is what the internet says....

"In boys, hyperactive symptoms are more dominant and this ties in with what we’ve seen from studies, that often ADHD in boys is behavioural. Because these behavioural challenges affect other people, they are easy to identify and people take action more quickly to prevent further behavioural issues. In girls, symptoms of inattention are more dominant and these are often overlooked. Unfortunately, it can take a long time for someone who struggles to pay attention to receive either recognition or support." See below link.

So basically, because boys are loud little shits - they get diagnosed and helped and us females just get written off for not paying attention.
