Hi Amy 86.  In the section of TotallyADD that features some free tools you’ll find the ASRS Screener or “Adult Self Reporting Scale”.  Your husband can fill this out based on his opinion of you.  As well, you’ll find the DSM criteria which is designed more for kids but is useful as well. And there is our Power Point of adult symptoms.

My suggestion is that you watch ADD & Loving It?! together and see how much of it resonates there. You can also ask a doctor to give you the Brown Ratings Scale and or the Wender/Utah rating scale, which each of you can fill out. (Having someone else give their opinion is so smart because we can be notoriously bad at self-assessment. And therefore, we think we’re great a self-assessment.)
