ADHD pre assessment forms

[CAG2003]

I’m currently trying to fill out these dreaded things and am struggling enormously. In fact it has taken me 6 months so far and they’re still not finished, my chosen RTC provider waitlist has increased so much already and I really need to get them done. Does anyone who has done them before have any advice? How many points did you put per “subject” I feel I’ve put too many and am sort of repeating myself so wondering if I should just narrow down and spread my responses out but I don’t want doing that to reduce my chance of getting an assessment. Someone said if they’re chaotic it’s “good evidence” but I feel like i need to write in proper paragraphs etc to make sense/ surely that’s not true? I’m just so worried, obviously I don’t want a diagnosis if its not valid but struggle so much with so many things I at least want to get to the point of assessment so I can explain my issues how I would explain them as opposed to having to stick to fixed questions like those on the forms as feel I can explain myself better then. I’m worried if I mess the forms up I won’t get assessed!
Many thanks and ANY advice on the whole process will be greatly appreciated

I can't remember - I think mine was more bullet points. It's not you making the case, it's you writing down how it's affected you and then they assess if that makes sense. I did use old school reports though.

I struggled more with the evidence from a friend or family - was like getting blood from stone.

Mine took a couple of hours with some repetition. Just put down everything you can think of and get them sent off asap. After I sent off the forms I sent off a bullet point list of something like 75 examples of behaviours and struggles. Try not to overthink it because in my experience they didn’t even ask about most of the things I’d written about.
