The unusual aspect about this diagnosis of ADHD, inattentive presentation, for a thirteen-year-old girl like Sophia is:
**C) She is too old to be diagnosed with this subtype of ADHD.**
This option suggests that there is an age limitation for this subtype, which is misleading. ADHD can be diagnosed at various ages, and inattentive presentation can manifest effectively in adolescents, including teenage girls.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) ADHD, inattentive presentation is a valid subtype.
B) While the inattentive presentation might be less common than the hyperactive-impulsive presentation in boys, it is inaccurate to state that only 10 percent of diagnoses are of this subtype as prevalence can differ by studies.
D) It is not accurate to say that girls are never diagnosed with this subtype; there are indeed girls diagnosed with ADHD, predominantly inattentive presentation.
**C) She is too old to be diagnosed with this subtype of ADHD.**
