Screening vs diagnosis
A screener flags people who are likely to have a condition so they can be assessed properly. A diagnosis involves a clinical interview, history from childhood, and ruling out other explanations.
The six-question screener
Part A of the ASRS is the six-item screener. Four or more answers in the shaded range indicates symptoms highly consistent with adult ADHD.
What a full assessment includes
Expect questions about childhood, current functioning across settings, other conditions like anxiety or sleep problems, and sometimes input from a partner or family member.
Preparing for an appointment
Take your screener result, specific examples of how symptoms affect you, and any old school reports. This helps your clinician understand the full picture.
