I want get myself an official diagnosis on ADHD and an answer regarding whether I’m autistic.
Typically, a “10 minute test” takes me several hours. I spend a great deal of time contemplating the questions, filled with indecision. So I want to fill out the test before I even get to the psychologist’s office.
Which is why I plugged “official ADHD test” into a search engine, and got overwhelmed by the choices. And my main questions are:
- do some websites offer a test they inaccurately describe as the official test? (If so, do those show up high on search results?)
- do some websites offer the official test… and also augment the test with extra resources that help a cripplingly indecisive person answer more efficiently? (That would save me time.)

This is for autism While there isn’t am actual diagnosis test online, this is the one commonly used by psychologist as a prescreenimg tool in the diagnosising process https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/ https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/ This site lists a bunch of them as autism can present differently in different people. It can be a very expensive (thousands of dollars) process to get officially diagnosed, this is why self diagnosis is pretty well acceptable in the community
