If you want to know how to test for ADHD for yourself or your child, you MUST watch this video.
We’ll cover how to get an ADHD self assessment or an assessment for your child, what ADHD screening tools people use, and who can diagnose ADHD.
We also cover what ADHD means, what ADHD stands for, and what ADHD looks like as well as common ADHD symptoms.
It’s very important to understand ADHD who makes the diagnosis and why you should not take ADHD self tests.
For those of you who don’t know, ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which is actually a misleading name because:
– you don’t have to be hyperactive to have it
– and people with ADHD don’t have an attention deficit, it’s just that regulating their attention is difficult, which can either make it hard for them to focus on one thing or can make them hyperfocused on one thing
What does ADHD mean?
ADHD is a medical condition, more specifically a neurodevelopmental disorder.
It is NOT a myth or made-up excuse by parents of “naughty” kids. If you’ve ever had to deal with this, let me know what happened in the comments below!
A person with ADHD has visible differences in brain development and brain activity that affect their attention, emotional regulation, and self-control.
Watch the full video to understand more about what ADHD is, how to take an ADHD test, and how to get your child tested for ADHD.

I showed the symtoms to my mom and since i do ALL of those things she legit said "were taking you to a profesinal"
one month later, i was diagnosed 😀
F my life
Me with A.D.H.D trying to pay attention to this to see if my daughter has it. Oy!
I may have type one ADHD
I had the symptoms for over six monthes.. And my friend knows she said I had it
I figured something was wrong when it startee happening more than 6 monthes ago..
Omg I just turned 12 like a week ago
I have literally all the symptoms for type one and I started noticing them a while ago
I promised to do my homework after eating… It's been 3 hours since I said that and my tea is cold
40 seconds in and I'm already reading comments and fidgeting a bunch what the crap.
Edit : I thought there were only two types of ADHD and the third one fits my actions a lot better, because I can be extremely focused on one thing but not be able to focus at all on something else, but I also share symptoms with hyperactive. I literally cannot sit down or stop fidgeting. I used to think I had hyperactive ADHD, but it seems a lot more like combined ADHD. Though I haven't been officially diagnosed, it's really easy to point out how weird I am compared to everyone I know.
Edit 2 : To clarify, if someone knew me when I was eleven or twelve, (or even now,) it'd be easy for them to point out that I cause a lot of trouble, like if I have something to say trying to say it in extremely short gaps of someone else's sentences, or if I'm in a bad mood I'd try to keep the word away from everyone and being over-all stubborn. It's caused problems for me even in the long term and I'm not doing to well in school because of it. Heck, I can't even keep a consistent upload schedule on my channel. Also, every other word I say something like, um, uh, or, eh. If I didn't, I'd have noticeable gaps in my words. (To clarify, English is my native language.)
gets distracted a lot.
me: starts watching tiktok halfway through the video cuz im bored
Isnt type 1 just being lazy? Nearly everyone does this.
Umm can a 13y o have adhd
should i talk to someone about this-
