This is the full DSM screener (one of those Harvard links contained only the 6 initial questions that are highly predictive of the disorder) which is the same as the self test I linked to above.

I think I mentioned the disclaimer in the OP...second post, actually.
In unity we are all somewhat different and a bit off ... so as to look back at the way we were with varied perspectives ... in a global perspective that could be a norm in collective worldview ... alas ... do you really think we could get it together with AI being weaponized in the conjunction of powerful industrial concerns controlling the social histrionics? We are exposed to alternates ... just for the experience of life ... and try to settle the far out turbulence in a heaven that is really a strange utopian cognizance! Dystopia rains down here ... purple, dark light?
This observation can alter too given what powers can bend all outa shape ... like the sacra el bone ... once thought to be foot of the sol due to that gut feeling ...

I think you might have a humour imbalance. Levels of silliness too high, I'd say.
That's my diagnosis.
Thus wrinkles in deep space? Then anal litical hole of the mind ... where thoughts may be lost!

Hoo boy. Off the map, but I knew that. Thought I might outgrow the fidgeting but it's not easy. That was on my report card....assignments not done, daydreaming, fidgeting. I'm better. I've learned for the most part to adapt....I never forget appointments....but I had to take time to deliberately learn basics to function everyday.
There are many other diagnosis that can have the same symptoms or similar to ADHD:
Anxiety, bi polar disorder, OCD, sensory processing disorder, autism, hypoglycemia, vision problems, dyslexia, stress or trauma, poor sleeping habits, immaturity, high energy, extreme intelligence,.....and on and on.
It's probably better to not predetermine one's diagnosis by choosing the diagnosis first and then taking a test to confirm it.

Sounds like a driving force for more chaos ... in which some powers would use it to take unfair advantage to prosper! Is this all a kin to a chord as lyre there unseen? It is a challenging etude for those into underground studies about what's behind the front end of human forth righteousness ... a devious activity to say least about what supports it! Thus flourishing as non demon IS'd ... like ISHy words ...

CP is a result of brain damage, like a stroke. I have CP. And have struggled with ADD symptoms for my whole life - which has been seen as something I should get over - or looked at as part of having CP. Maybe it is maybe it isn't the cause. It doesn't really matter the label but people with CP have far higher instances of co-occurring disorders including depression anxiety and ADHD. It's literally like being a square peg in a round hole ones whole life when people use your best achievement to negate your challenges...even though everybody knows there's something. At my age it's not likely to change. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression a very long time ago, but some of these issues preceded that - from very young. If ADHD 'symptoms' have interfered with ones life their whole life - it doesn't matter what one labels it. The symptoms are the thing to address not the label. If CP is a higher risk for ADHD symptoms and depression and anxiety are too, then it makes sense that I would have symptoms and maybe there was reluctance in adding another label.

I disagree on the symptoms vs. the label. My parents sought specialist care for me when I was really little, not informed of that until my late teens. At the time the best guess was ADHD, but I was too young to be diagnosed with something like that. I was said to have lots of tantrums. Looking back, all of that information seems incorrect. I would say it was meltdowns from prodromes & HAE attacks. Had the actual issue been treated instead of just the symptoms I think I would have been much better off. I know now in general I tend to be much more calm.
I tried the test just out of curiosity to see what it what come back as, surprised at how low it was just because some of the things seem fairly generalized. I did it another day, forget the exact number, something like 35%
Within the mystery of illness is physical, mental and emotional concerns ... but much of the isolated can't get it together as 4th coming in shades of white, black, yellow and red ... perhaps the blanched should be last as W'SP in the sting ... Ur ... endogenous protection ... that buried flame ... hope of enlightenment ... when into the deeper grove? Oh Din #'s ... the OI'd code ... watched from a slippery distance!

My father is proof you don't grow out of ADD-H ( he has always had the H). It runs in my family and can be a gift actually, once you're out of the school system that squashes it instead of teaching people how to manage it. A lot of my clients were also likely people with ADD. Many worked in fields where their symptoms were gifts instead of handicaps. My father used his for the good most days.
A lot of time kids who are experiencing trauma get diagnosed with ADD because the characteristics are similar. They also get locked in. Again, those are traits that people can learn to manage. It might not be easy. It is possible a lot of the time.

I have ADDD (the second D is for daydream). I heard people say "Earth to Kimmio." a lot. Still do. I'm more like seeler's kid with one boot on staring out the window. I don't have the H, at least not very often. I don't think that's a symptom for me.
H was once a sign for the Hebrewing space found on a high place in England known as Stonehenge that had mysterious purpose ... and reason to remain in the dark ... creating hoots from the unknown hosts ... sometimes regarded as dark angels that informed people like the Biblical Mary on NU's coming down the tubes ... autonomous material for the future resolvement of reproduction in an unconscious matter ... but matter of fact that could learn ... while others claim the position knowledge is evil. Only when used contrary to decent sociala orders ... like passing Utopia. It is near, but done gone ... as a concept! Outside or fringe thought? These are distant many ... far out intelligence!
