Seeking a formal diagnosis

Our tests and quizzes can give you an indication that your traits may suggest ADHD, but Exceptional Individuals can also support your pursuit of a formal diagnosis. We know that being formally diagnosed can be a huge step in learning about yourself, your acceptance of the way you work, and in seeking further support. This is why we’ve partnered with providers that can diagnose neurodivergences such as ADHD. They go beyond simply putting a name to the way you experience the world, offering strategies and insights that empower you to thrive. 

Through our diagnosis partners’ thorough processes, you can gain crucial clarity and confidence. From here, we can help embed support like workplace adjustments for your ADHD into your life. From making you aware of neuroinclusive job roles to Workplace Needs Assessments, Exceptional Individuals can guide you towards not only a formal diagnosis, but a more ADHD-friendly life, too. 

Do you have symptoms of ADHD?

If you have completed our test and the results suggest you may have symptoms of ADHD you may wish to seek a formal diagnosis. We have a number of formal adhd assessment providers. Simply visit our adhd diagnosis page and get in touch to start the process. 

ADHD symptoms can be easily overlooked in anyone as they often present more subtly and can even be mistaken for other mental health conditions. However, finding out that you have ADHD, a condition that affects the way your brain functions, can help you navigate the many challenges you may face at work, at home, and in social settings.

There are different variations of ADHD, and it can look different from person to person. That said, prominent signs and symptoms may include (but aren’t limited to):

  • Losing focus quickly
  • Struggling with time management
  • Hyperactivity
  • Impulsiveness
  • Forgetting to carry out tasks
  • Having many distracting and unrelating thoughts
  • Misplacing important items

Our ADHD quiz is a straightforward and supportive tool designed by neurodiversity professionals to highlight if you show any symptoms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or ADD (attention deficit disorder). However, please note this test does not count as a diagnosis. If you score highly or feel the results resonate with your experiences, you can contact your GP to arrange a formal diagnosis.

Do you need a full diagnosis? or do your results to our quiz indicate you may have a neurodivergent issue? If so you can find out more information about ADHD here.

Why should I take an online ADHD test?

An ADHD test can identify if your symptoms are significant enough to impact your daily life, and whether you should take the next steps towards. By taking this online test, you can gain a better understanding of how your brain works and which tasks you need additional support with. From there, you can choose to take further action through your GP.

We’re frequently seeing ADHD being talked about on the news and on social media, which means the stigma is slowly disappearing and a positive light is being shed on the condition. With more information and conversations out there than ever before, it’s easy to recognise the traits of ADHD that you might be experiencing. That’s where we can help. Our free online test is the perfect place to start your journey to a diagnosis.
