I have a friend who had a tough time getting an ADHD diagnosis and treatment because she's female; I have a cousin who had neither his ADHD nor his dyslexia diagnosed before his late teens because he was categorised as "disruptive black kid" rather than evaluated for medical problems.

That's my anecdotal stuff.
