The interactive form below is a version of the Adult ADHD Self-Reporting Scale. It is a quick and effective screening tool that can highlight potential ADHD symptoms in adults and offer insights into behaviours affecting daily life, work, and relationships. The results of the form can also serve as a helpful starting point for discussions with us about an ADHD assessment and diagnosis. It’s important to note that the ASRS is not a diagnostic tool.

Part A: ASRS Calculation
Your Part A Score: (out of a possible 6)
The score highlighted above is out of a possible 6. A score of 4 or higher indicates that your symptoms are consistent with a diagnosis of ADHD. Anything below 4 indicates that it is unlikely that you have ADHD.
If the score indicated is 4 or above, we recommend speaking to a healthcare professional. Your test suggests that you have symptoms that are highly consistent with a diagnosis of ADHD. However, this test is not a diagnosis, which can only be given by a trained clinician with expertise in ADHD. You can book in for a formal diagnostic assessment with one of our specialist ADHD clinicians, or alternatively you might wish to speak to your GP.
If the score indicated is 3 or less, remember this test is not a diagnosis, which can only be given by a trained clinician with expertise in ADHD. While your screening test suggests you are unlikely to have a diagnosis of ADHD, you are of course welcome to book in for a formal assessment with one of our clinical experts if you would like to speak to an expert. Alternatively please contact your GP as there are other mental health conditions that share some of the same symptoms as ADHD. If you are worried about your symptoms it is important to speak with a healthcare professional.
