” a Neuropsychologist who said the tests would determine if I had ADD” . . . fat lot he knows. I don’t think any test can determine ADD. At least not at this stage in the understanding of ADHD. Tests may be useful, but a diagnosis should also involve things such as history and experiences . . . and a doctor that believes that ADHD in adults can and does exist and is not averse to giving a diagnosis of it.
In the future, genetic tests may be able to diagnose ADHD, but I don’t think its here yet.
