I think it's more that males are more likely to be pushed to be (mis)diagnosed by schools and teachers for their behavior, and then drugged up to pacify them. Especially in this feminized education system we currently have, boys tend to get bored or otherwise be less interested in school and thus become more unruly. The teachers push to have such children tested for autism and other shit like ADD so they don't have to deal with it.

I've experienced this firsthand, with my parents thankfully telling the school to fuck off and explaining to them that I was just bored in school (I found it too easy most of the time in elementary school so I had nothing to hold my interest).
