Important Notice
This screening uses the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) to help you reflect on attention-related patterns. Important: This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can provide a full evaluation and, if appropriate, a diagnosis. If these challenges are significantly impacting daily life, consider seeking professional support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this test diagnose ADHD?
No. This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic test. Think of it as a first step that helps you reflect on patterns and decide whether to seek a professional evaluation. Only a qualified professional can provide a full evaluation and, if appropriate, a diagnosis.
What is the ASRS-v1.1?
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) was developed by the World Health Organization working with Harvard Medical School researchers. It has been studied in multiple research settings and is widely used as a screening questionnaire for attention-related challenges in adults.
Do adults really have ADHD?
Yes. Many people associate ADHD with childhood, but for some, attention and executive-function challenges continue into adulthood. Some adults were identified earlier in life; others recognize patterns later when demands increase at work, school, or home. With the right supports and strategies, many adults make meaningful improvements.
What should I do if my results suggest I might have ADHD?
Start by reviewing your results and noting a few concrete examples of how these patterns show up in daily life. You can explore practical strategies (sleep, routines, planning tools, coaching, skills-based supports) and browse our resources. If you want deeper clarity or your challenges are significantly affecting daily life, consider seeking a professional evaluation.
How does adult ADHD differ from childhood ADHD?
In formal evaluations, clinicians typically consider whether patterns started early, but they can look different in adulthood. Physical hyperactivity may become internal restlessness, and many adults develop coping strategies that mask some difficulties. This screening focuses on adult-life contexts—work deadlines, relationships, household responsibilities, and organization.
