#Adhd test

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

So uh…I took ones of those ADHD spectrum tests. And…

This was the first time I took it.

I did it another time just in case.

I don’t want to self diagnose but…

Here’s the test if anyone wants to take it:

Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions. : )

CANNOT describe the fucking FRUSTRATION as an ace person when trying to do psychometric tests for ADHD, autism, and especially Alexithymia.

"Sex as an activity seems kind of pointless", "For me sex is more of a functional activity than an emotional one." Why are you focusing on SEX when I regularly lock myself in my room and am late to things because I cannot find my FUCKING KEYS

aaaaaaa [enter more lowercase screaming]

I finally got my ADHD assessment (last Saturday, 30th of December). Not sure how it's gonna come out at all. I just hope I have it because while it would be nice not having it I don't want to have faked everything. I don't care if they call me "high-functioning" or "low-functioning" (unlikely) but I'm just soo nervous.

Also, for anyone who wants to have an assessment for ADHD be sure to not have anything else for that day. Or, be ready to cancel because it's fucking taxing. I was exhausted and the woman who did my test/assessment or whatever knew it. She's obviously used to it (as she's been doing it for a while) because she was like, let's take a break after this phase. (There were 10 "phases")

It truly was taxing that I had to rest the rest of the day (had it at 13:00 and finished at around 14:30 or 15:00 [not sure] so it was a little long) and didn't get up for anything other than dinner (was pretty hard to do so) and then didn't get up the next day until 13:45 or something.

(Also some people I know told me that autism's assessments were also very tiring.)

My feelings after being rejected twice for a literal test by people who spent 15-20 minutes with me. Duck you.

Sorry if it's spooky! I can get a lot crazier with my art, at least it's cartoonish so it's okay right?

People who have been denied the right to a test may understand this frustration. The denial of your basic intelligence and understanding of yourself.

How did you know you had ADHD?

Showed a lotta the classic signs in elementary school. My mom heard from my teachers that I should get tested, but my father refused it. Said “there’s nothing wrong with my children, blah blah blah.” Made it sound like some kind of curse which honestly scared me.

It wasn’t until…eehhhhh maybe around my 13th birthday that my momma and my grandparents and my favorite teacher to convince me it wasn’t a curse and that testing can be a good thing.

And tada! They were right.

5 out of fucking 7, and my family is still like "You just need to practice mindfulness!"

Does anyone know any good online ADHD tests?

I did the BetterMindset one only to be hit with a “pay for your results” and its more than i currently have in my bank account. Any recs would be appreciated!!

This is literally how I figured out I was undiagnosed and that i have a combo of both inattentive and hyperactive categories, and that my symptoms were not, as I thought, something everyone experienced, and that my symptoms were also impeding my life, and also also causing or compounding my other mental health issues.

I had tried a lot of other stuff, and I was in therapy, and we started talking about “ruling it out,” or getting tested just so we would know adhd wasn’t the issue.

Getting tested for adhd is not invasive, does not mean that you automatically get handed medication, does not take very long, and if the test says no, that’s it, you walk out of the medical office, and move on with your life.

"i had straight As in high school i don't understand why college is so hard" get tested for adhd. if you were tested as a kid and they didn't diagnose you it was cause your grades were good then but you've since lost the routine and structure in hs that kept you on top of everything so go get retested. go get tested for adhd. go

Changing Insurances

Since I live in America, I have to have to go through my insurance for everything. I've talked to my partner and we've decided to switch insurance companies, which we have to do at the end of the year.

The reason this is important is because our current insurance also owns the hospitals that you are allowed to go to. I think that that causes the doctors to be a bit more overworked and less willing to give people tests for issues. This could also be increased by the fact that I am a cis woman, and typically we just have trouble getting access to medical tests in general.

Anyways please root for me that when we change insurance companies that I will be able to get a test!

Lets go 2025!

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - DSM-5 Criteria Calculator

ADHD is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and in some cases.

The thing about me is, I’m so rejection sensitive, at least where friendship is concerned, that I have learned to completely ignore the part of my brain that tells me that someone is mad at me or hates me and wants rid of me, essentially granting myself cockroach levels of resilience to passive-aggressive social rejection and ghosting. So yes, I will be That Person. I have absolutely no shame and I will send you 32 things that made me think of you even if you haven’t replied, I will persist in asking you to hang out. Like I choose to believe that everyone is just busy or forgetful or has their own shit going on, it’s the only way I can be a functional human being. So if you want to get rid of me that’s completely fine, but I will take none hints and I’m going to need you to Set Some Clear Boundaries, Ma’am.

During a test for ADHD, I stopped to write down “Ratatouille is the antithesis to the Lion King.”

Dear disabled people in school, please know your rights! If you have an IEP or a 504 plan with your school, your accommodations are not suggestions; a teacher cannot refuse them. If a teacher, coach, or other school staff chooses to ignore or disregard your accommodations, you can and should report them to the school.

The school, under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, will not/cannot tell the teacher that it was you who reported them, nor can the teacher question you or your class about being reported.

Remember it's against the law for the school or anyone representing/working for them to deny you your accommodations, no matter your age or grade, no matter the disability, and no matter how the school is funded.

At this point I'm beginning to think "I hated the test/thought it was stupid" should be a diagnosis criteria.

"I usually feel unhappy more days than not." That is not a symptom of Autism, that is a symptom of depression.

"I enjoy parties." What parties? What kind of parties? How many people? Do I know most of the people there? Do I know the location? How much music and noise is there? Am I expected to dance night-club style or can I just talk to people? I cannot answer that question it is not precise enough!!

"I stop being angry quicker than most people." Mate, I have no idea how quickly most people stop being angry. Literally none.

"I cannot concentrate for long periods of time." Hey fucker, question, have you heard of the concept of an hyperfixation??? I can't concentrate except when I can because I've gotten caught in hyperfocus???

So many questions I left in the middle because I had no idea how to answer. Like it told me Autism symptoms were moderate. Which fair, I also think I'm more ADHD than Autistic. But also I left so many questions in the middle in the Autism one because I had no idea how to answer them?? So I have no idea how accurate it is.

I did get high symptoms for ADHD though. Which makes sens.

Also I still have to take an ADHD or Autism test that ask questions about executive function. Which is my #1 problem on a day-to-day basis. Emotional regulation and concentration problems are like #2 and #3 respectively. And sure they're annoying. But the executive dysfunction is awful?! And it's never mentioned in the tests!?!

(mind you I have taken more ADHD tests than Autism tests. Because I relate more to ADHD symptoms and experiences. But still)

This is not even a criticism of these tests specifically, I have taken other tests (you can find the official test sheets for ADHD online, I have looked at them and got angry almost instantly), it just seem they're all bullshit. I get more angry every time I have to look up official diagnosis criteria and tests.

Hence my first point. "I thought the test was stupid" should be a diagnosis criteria.

(Except of course if they're so stupid even NT people think they're stupid. In which case fuck the tests)

For those who have ADHD and/or autism.

I wanna to do a test to see if I'm autistic, have ADHD, both or neither. For some reason I'm terrified of knowing the truth. Sorry if I sound offensive at some point, I'm just writing about myself and don't mean to be mean at any point.

ADHD, the name changed right? Gonna use this one because I'm writing this quickly. If I have ok, that'd explain why I'm so forgetful and nothing catches my attention unless I'm interested in the topic. And why is so hard to focus. And why I never finish my projects. But I'm not hyper active. I'm a pretty calm person, I can't reall5sit and focus for too long, but give me a hair elastic thing and I'll play with it for hours while listening to you. And I'll be able to actually listen.

Don't ask me to look in your eyes tho, I will. But only for 5 minutes if you are lucky.

My mom a lot for times aska me for things and I completely forget about them, things that are important and I feel bad for forgetting.

But all of this could simply be me and no ADHD. I don't know.

Autism

Frankly I don't think I have autism. But the reports are just so relatable it scares me a bit. I was bullied a lot during my childhood. I remember in the first grade, I tried hard to make friends but I never was able to. To this day I don't know why. Why people didn't like me? I have a timeline of events in my head of my entire life, things that happened when I was 2 y.o. but I don't have details. I don't remember if i did something or not to be not liked. The first school that my parents put me in I was there for a year. In this whole year I didn't make a single friend. I remember I asked my parents for help to do a lost of people who were and weren't my friends simply to try to uncover the reason for that. Is this a sign of autism? Idk. Maybe I'm just out of the norm, but not autistic. Doesn't seem like autism. Autism is something that affects your day to day, every day life. I'm not sure if I have signs everyday.

I have trouble socializing. I have trouble making friends. I have trouble maintaining friendship. But I can understand sarcasm, jokes and I'm able to tell when people are sad or uncomfortable. so there's goes signs that the internet sites gave me. Sometimes I do have troubles talking and truly understanding what my parents say. Not because they are complex, but because I don't get it. There are easier ways to do things and they won't for some alien reason.

I have trouble understanding relationships, in the sense what it means to be in, part of or the different aspects of relationship. People expect things. Sometimes it feels like mathematical equations on which I have to be constant aware of. I gave to do this to get to that. A lot of times I feel like I'm manipulating the few relationships that I have big I can't see another way.

Don't you dare change my routine. I'll be messed up and although not cry, I'll be very close to. Unless the change is "we are not going outside of the house anymore", sudden things messes my little planned time. At the same time I can't really organize myself very well.

I do have some subjects on which I'm very passionate about. But I'm no genius on them and although I'd love to, I can't keep going on them for hours and hours because, as said before I can't communicate very well. My social skills are terrible, I don't know what to say most of the time but I feel like I should.

I don't think I have autism. I don't think I have ADHD. I think I'm only different from other people but can't put my finger exactly on what exactly. I don't feel like I really fall into the spectrum because I lack the usual signs. But I don't know how much of this is stereotyping both those conditions.
