Is ADHD different between men and women? Because I relate to 4/5 of these, but I see that it's posted in ADHD women.

It does present differently, partly because of societal pressure but also partly because of hormonal setup. That's the reason why it was thought for a long time that ADHD and Autism was less prevalent in girls. Luckily, this perspective has changed which led to a lot of late diagnoses for women.
