Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1)

You have contacted the practice looking to arrange an assessment for possible ADHD.

This assessment is carried out by the community mental health team (CMHT).

At present the waiting time for an ADHD assessment is about 12 months.

ADHD is neurodevelopmental condition that can impact your behaviour and the way you experience the world around you.

If you have ADHD your brain might work differently to other people. It means that the way your brain controls your concentration, activity levels and impulses is a bit different – this is a form of neurodiversity.

For example, you might act without thinking about the consequences or be very easily distracted.

Symptoms tend to start very early in life, before the age of six. Lots of people will get an ADHD diagnosis at this age, but you can be diagnosed at any stage in your life and you might not realise you have ADHD until you’re much older.

Symptoms for ADHD can be different for everyone and can depend on your age, sex, gender identity and whether you have any other neurodevelopmental conditions.

ADHD can run in families, but the cause is mostly unknown.

At present there is a huge demand for ADHD testing and often referral are rejected due to lack of information.

To help the CMHT assess your referral please complete the following form with as much information as possible. If you require a paper copy, please contact our reception team.

It would be helpful if you give specific examples of how you may be hyperactive, impulsive or inattentive and particularly explain with examples how this has affected you throughout your whole life.
