"do more boys have ADHD than girls" It's a fact that more boys than girls are diagnosed, but I've noticed that /r/adhd seems overwhelmingly female. I dunno, though, maybe it's just that people are more likely to be talking womanly on a mental disorder site. (They're more likely to be talking about their feelings, for one thing.) And a tendency to associate Facebooky spelling ("isnt",etc) with females might be unfair on my part. "teachers have a similar attitude, they're all female, they seem particularly bothered by some types of 'unruly' behaviour. Is there a biological divide between the sexes here too?" Don't get me started... I have ADD, so it's hard for me to write a short comment. In my life, pretty much all the women teachers have been big into rules for the sake of rules, and applying rules with no thought on the actual point of the rule. I can't really think of any reason for more women than men to be sensors rather than intuitives (most _people_ are sensors), but I suppose there could be a reason for more women teachers to be sensors than men teachers, or rather, for less men teachers to be sensors than the general population. I conjecture that that reason is: men who become teachers do it because they want to talk about equations and right-angle triangles all day, which is an intuitive trait. I want to be a teacher and that's the main reason. (And women don't need a special reason to want to be a teacher... not the way men do, anyway.)
