Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with early-onset conduct disorder, which typically manifests before puberty, while girls are more likely to exhibit symptoms of conduct disorder during adolescence, but the distinction is not as clear-cut as boys being more likely for early-onset and girls for adolescent-onset. Both genders can be diagnosed with either form, but the prevalence and manifestation might differ.
