What your result means

ADHD Screener

This is a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis. A high score does not mean you have ADHD, and a low score does not rule it out. Only a qualified health professional can diagnose. If your concentration, organisation or restlessness affects daily life, consider speaking to your doctor.

The ASRS Part A has six questions. Each one is counted as "in the significant range" only when your answer reaches its shaded threshold — Sometimes or more for questions 1–3, and Often or more for questions 4–6. The screen is positive when 4 or more of the 6 land in that range.

A positive screen (4–6 in range)

Your answers are consistent with the kinds of attention and activity patterns seen in adult ADHD. That is a reason to consider a proper assessment — it is not a diagnosis. ADHD is diagnosed by a clinician who looks at your history since childhood, rules out other explanations, and considers how symptoms affect different parts of your life.

A negative screen (0–3 in range)

This short screen didn't flag adult ADHD. Screens can miss things, especially if you've built coping strategies, so if attention, organisation or restlessness genuinely disrupt your work or relationships, it's still worth raising with a professional.

What to do next

Note concrete, recent examples of how symptoms affect daily life (work, study, home, relationships).
Think back to childhood — ADHD is lifelong, so clinicians look for early signs.
Speak to your GP/doctor about a referral, or contact a qualified mental-health professional directly.

Important

This is a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis, and no online tool can diagnose ADHD. If you're in distress or crisis, contact your local emergency number or a mental-health helpline.
