Checklists for pre-school, elementary, middle and high school levels are provided to help identify girls with AD/HD. special diagnostic issues are highlighted: why girls may not show signs of AD/HD in early childhood, why bright girls with AD/HD go undetected and why girls' symptoms often increase at puberty.
