When you think of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you may immediately think of the hyperactive, perpetually-in-trouble child \u2013 one who can\u2019t stay still or quiet. But there is another type of ADHD \u2013 inattentive type (ADD) \u2013 that can also cause difficulties at home, in school, and in social situations; it\u2019s just typically more difficult to \u201cspot.\u201d Why? Children with\u00a0inattentive ADHD<\/a>\u00a0are often quiet and withdrawn. They may be seen as underachievers and daydreamers. Many have trouble with organization and time management. They may take longer to process information. Many silently struggle.<\/p>\n Here is the full list of inattentive ADHD symptoms.<\/a> Only a mental-health professional can tell for sure whether symptoms are severe, frequent, and pervasive enough to suggest a positive ADHD diagnosis. But this self-test may provide some behavior clues and suggestions about next steps.<\/p>\n This questionnaire\u00a0<\/em>is designed to determine whether your child demonstrates symptoms similar to those of attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) \u2014 and the inattentive sub-type in particular. If you answer often to a significant number of these questions, consult a licensed mental health practitioner. An accurate diagnosis can only be made through clinical evaluation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Based on the <\/em>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)<\/a>, published by the American Psychiatric Association<\/a> and reviewed by Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
