Actually, girls can have ADHD too (I should know--I am one, and I've been diagnosed.) Also, as someone who's been diagnosed with ADHD, saying "boys being boys" is not only untrue, but also dismissive of what IS actually a medical problem for some of us.
I wrote a blog post about ADHD called "Why I Feel Like A Failure, Even Though On the Outside, I'm A Success..." I think it might resonate with many here:

I would ask that you please not be dismissive or stereotypical of what is a real medical issue that some of us have had to deal with our entire lives.
