ADHD in Girls in Updated ADHD eBook

NEWARK, N.J. - Sept. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- ADHD manifests different symptoms in girls vs. boys. How ADHD predominately manifests itself in girls is one of the many topics given consideration in the book Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Guidebook for Parents and Teachers. Both parents and teachers should be aware of the nuances of identifying symptoms and practical measures that can help boys and girls, and which are specific to boys and girls.

As one example, girls often manifest ADHD Inattentive Type, whereas boys more commonly are diagnosed with or display symptoms associated with ADHD with hyperactivity as a predominant symptom. Girls may be more inclined to regularly skip meals and often need help in maintaining a high standard in nutrition due to this tendency. Part of the problem may be in finicky eating habits, being overly picky in their eating preferences or habits for one reason or the other; or it may simple a question of not recognizing the necessity of eating regularly; issues with body weight or perceived body weight may be involved. In any case, nutrition issues and ADHD symptoms can be correlated.

Another example of differences in lifestyle habits affecting ADHD symptoms is that boys may be inclined to spend long hours on action or violent video games while girls usually do not.

So while there are no hard and fast rules on what contributes to ADHD specifically in girls as opposed to boys, there are some general observances that can be helpful for everyone involved to note. Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Guidebook for Parents and Teachers explores these and many other issues. The newly revised eBook version will be available during the first week of October on most major retail distribution channels, including Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Overdrive, as well as others.

The Spanish version of the book is also available in paperback and eBook format, and is a high quality translation by a native speaker from Buenos Aires, Argentina with a background related to the topic.
