How are ASRS-v1.1 scores interpreted?

  • · A Part A positive score of 4–6 suggests the presence of ADHD symptoms.
  • · A Part A positive score below 4 suggests an absence of ADHD symptoms.
  • · The first 6 questions can identify almost 70% of people with ADHD.
  • · ASRS-v1.1 is a screening tool. Only a qualified specialist can make an ADHD diagnosis.
