Gender/Sexes?

it is widely thought that dyspraxia is more likely to affect males more than females from a (older) dyspraxia foundation leaflet that of those diagnosed 80% are male however there are also lots of females out there with dyspraxia.
firstly even when comparing dyspraxia among genders that males tend to be diagnosed earlier than females although this is not always the case and this could have a large impact on the diagnosis rates among the genders as often the older you get it is likely that you will have developed effective coping mechanisms and there tends to be less of a need for diagnosis for many especially if outside of education as those coping starategies may work so well that you dont feel that need and have no reason for it and from what i can recall seeing is that many people who dont get diagnosed via parents/teachers at school age often find if they go onto it university life and its at that age those people get their diagnosis.
when you see research done via polls or you look on social madia platforms you are more likely to see more of a 50-50 split in the genders however this could be impacted by research that suggests females tend to be much more active/involved in social media.
it is quite easy to see why the thought that dyspraxia affects boys more than girls especially with the difference in age of diagnosis and this is because on average boys are much more likely to pursue and be pushed towards sports and physical activities than girls are, so there is potentially much more oppurtunity to identify aspects of dyspraxia.
is the huge difference in diagnnosis of dyspraxia between genders and widely thought belief representative? highly unlikely
that is a big question and is highly unlikely/ impossible to be answered definititively as you would need to test everyone. there could well be some difference but there is not really any reason for it to be so big.
back in 2015 there was a article from the dyspraxia foundation about this difference
