Week Two Fact:
It’s said that ADHD occurs 3 times more often in boys/men than girls/women.
However, the symptoms girls exhibit are more likely to be overlooked. Where boys seem more prone to the hyperactive/impulsive(/inattentive) form of ADHD—including moving around a lot, aggression, running/climbing, etc., girls are more likely to have the quiet sort of inattentive symptoms—daydreaminess, being “withdrawn”, low self-esteem or anxiety, and if ‘aggressive’, symptoms are verbal—not physical. [1]
Inattentive ADHD—in girls or boys—is a lot easier to miss, because while it’s all “behavioural”, the behaviours are not of the same magnitude.
Challenge Update Day 13/14:
Yes, I was too ranty last night to get the challenge update in. Hello there.
Meditation: Mindful vs. Mindless meditation last night, 3 minutes. The night prior was a bit of a shorter one but, yep, if it exists I can’t find where the history bit of Smiling Mind went off to.
Tomorrow is 125—crossing the 2 minute mark.
