Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a diagnosis?

No. This is a screening tool to help you organize your thoughts and prepare for a clinical evaluation. Only a qualified professional can diagnose ADHD.

How accurate is the scoring?

The ASRS‑v1.1 has been validated in clinical studies, but self‑report can be influenced by many factors. Use it as a starting point for conversation.

What if I have a high score?

Consider seeking an evaluation from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other healthcare provider experienced in adult ADHD.

Can I use this tool repeatedly?

Yes, you can track changes over time, but note that day‑to‑day fluctuations are normal. Focus on patterns over weeks/months.

Methodology & Assumptions

Scoring: Each of the 6 questions is scored 0‑4. Total score = sum (range 0‑24).
Positive Indicators: For questions 1‑3, a score ≥2 (Sometimes/Often/Very Often) is positive. For questions 4‑6, a score ≥3 (Often/Very Often) is positive.
Screening suggestion: If ≥4 positive indicators, the screen is positive. This is based on the ASRS‑v1.1 Part A scoring algorithm.
Rounding: No rounding; scores are integers.
Time frame: Symptoms over the past 6 months.
