Findings demonstrate later ADHD diagnosis leads to negative outcomes in females, indicating a need for timely identification.

Despite later diagnosis, there was clear evidence of childhood mental health and educational difficulties when compared with females without ADHD. Therefore, timely childhood ADHD diagnosis may help to mitigate later risks, especially for females.
