I hope so, because I hope that's where we're going, that we can recognize that ADHD affects all different kinds of people, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender.

One of the prominent stereotypes has been that ADHD is a male-only disorder.

Now, it's certainly true that ADHD is more likely to be diagnosed in males, but there are plenty of women and girls with ADHD that are very affected by the disorder.

And it's possible that because of our stereotypes about what ADHD is and who has it, that especially in the past, some girls might not have been diagnosed even when they needed help.

Coming up, how those girls and women are finally getting the help they need.

Here at Gastropod, we ask the tough questions like what should go on top of a pancake?

My mom always had peanut butter and brown sugar.

She was not a syrup person.

I am loathe to judge people's personal pancake pleasures, but that's a hard no.

I'm on team maple syrup.

But for a long time, for a lot of Americans, maple syrup was too expensive, so they used pancake syrup.

But what is pancake syrup?

I mean, like maple syrup, it's also kind of caramel color.

This episode of Gastropod, we've got the answers to all your pancake questions, including what even is a pancake?

And does a latke or a Dutch baby count as a pancake?

To find out, find Gastropod and subscribe wherever you get your pancakes.

I mean, podcasts.

We're back with Explain It To Me.

I remember back in elementary school, it seemed like ADHD was something only boys had.

But that's changing, thanks in part to Dr. Julia Schechter.
