Would you do this ADHD diagnostic quiz and share your answer?

I've done this quiz which is meant to provide an estimate of whether you might have ADHD. It shouldn't be used for diagnosis, there are lot of caveats for it.

But I am thinking "but surely everyone does that" about a lot of the questions. I'd be really interested to get a range of answers from a range of people, if anyone is willing to share.

For what it's worth, I've done it twice on different days, scored 76 and 62. Their threshold for "possible ADHD" is 70+. I don't really believe anyone can score less than 50 and I'd be fascinated to know if I'm wrong.

Is there something similar for ASD?

72 but it said a high score can be due to anxiety which I have.

114 no surprise. I have an ADHD diagnosis, as well as a diagnosed DS and DD.

I scored 52

14. But a few years ago I had anxiety and depression and would have scored a fair bit higher, I think

Ds scored very highly initial ADHD questionanires filled him by him, us and his school that led to a full assessment. But he doesn't have ADHD, he has autism. There are many shared characteristics.

Scored 29. Probably would have scored a lot higher if I was going through a severe anxiety phase.

I scored 54. I have bpd, depression, anxiety and paranoia. Some of the questions overlapped with bpd.

I scored 5.

@Comefromaway Similar situation here. DS was assessed for ADHD (other family members have been diagnosed) and found not to have it. We were asked to fill in a very comprehensive form for an ASD assessment and DS is now awaiting an appointment. I agree, some of the traits are so similar.

I got 38... 🤷🏻‍♀️

44

36

29. I've got Dyspraxia, so that's got a few similarities with lack of organisation etc.

I got 20

34 but fairly certain some of that is due to menopausal brain fog more than anything. Think I would have scored lower ten years ago.

@DariaMorgendorffer

120. Have already been referred for assessment, which is upcoming.

Same score have diagnosis

@back123456

I got 80.

I already have Autism Anxiety Dyslexia OCD and I'm being assessed for Dyspraxia.

God I don't want ADHD too!!

Wish I hadn't done it now as I'll be thinking about it.

Or you might benefit from a diagnosis - there are meds for ADHD

48. Never been diagnosed with ADHD

Read the questions and my score would be very low.

90. I've begun to suspect more and more I have ADHD. DD was diagnosed at six and takes medication. Anyway I am doing this when I should be working

I got 76, a colleague once asked if I have it but never diagnosed & never even thought about it.

I scored 86. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD.

Now to go back and read a bit more of the thread. I went straight from the OP to do the test….. kind of typical of ADHD. Also means the thread has probably moved on and my input adds nothing.

Am interested in how many high scorers have other issues. Am dyspraxic too. Many of us quite premature?

I got 73. I am however, convinced I have and have always had, BPD.
