[Self-Test] Could My Child Have ADHD?

Do you have a test geared towards toddlers?
Questions about homework do not pertain to toddlers. Fidgeting does not seem age appropriate either. “Fidgeting” assumes that you can get the child to sit for some amount of time, but that the child moves a little bit while in the sitting process. A very young child will just plain refuse to sit and run around until they are completely exhausted and then lay down.
There isn’t a self-test for toddlers. The latest diagnostic and statistical manual calls for ADHD diagnosis at age 4 or later. Maybe this article on preschoolers will help: https://www.additudemag.com/can-preschool-children-have-adhd/
