Hi everyone
I've been wanting to be referred by my doctor for a long time. However, I've never been able to get myself together enough to write down behaviours and so on. I came across a diagnostic form that I've printed off and filled in, and which I'm going to use as the basis of a conversation with my doctor to get a referral. I know they take years, that isn't the presenting issue for me right now. I just want to get something in my medical notes, and will think about what to do next once I've spoken to doctor.
Anyway, the form can be accessed from this site:

Scroll right down to the ADHD part. When you click on the link for Adult ADHD TEST a PDF form will download. I've found this form helpful as I can't do open questions, so if asked about how ADHD presents I wouldn't be able to answer. Suffice to say, there are very few boxes on this form that I haven't ticked!
They have also helped me remember things, and I've been able to think of other examples because of the clues in the form about what these examples are!
It seems to me a credible form used by experts, so believe it to be of help.
Hope others can make good use of it!
