results??
Is my score high, or low? It gave me a number, but didn’t say where it fit in the range.
The higher the percentage(the more questions you answered in the affirmative), the more likely you are to be demonstrating the symptoms of attention deficit disorder. This self-test is not a diagnosis. A mental health professional can make a diagnosis based on clinical evaluation. Print out your results and take them to you clinician for diagnosis and treatment.
I am very offended at the fact that this is only for women and girls.

did you even read the text at the start? This test is here because a ADHD presents differently in girls & women to boys & men!
Which clinicians can diagnose ADHD inattentive? I have epilepsy so I see a neuropsychologist but they don’t seem keen to do diagnosis.
100%
It is so challenging but I got through my master’s program, I have a good job, but I’m tired of always feeling confused and behind.
Its interesting the test mentions thank you notes and other types of greeting cards. Why are these so hard for us, so easy for others? I’ve struggled with this my whole adult life. My friends will whip out a thank you note within a day or two, while for me its an epic project that may take months yo get to, if I ever do. It makes us seem unappreciative or uncaring, but we are not. Would love to finally get to the bottom of this weird struggle…..anybody have ideas or ever read an article on this? I haven’t been able to find anything.
