Getting distracted easily? I paused the video to grab a pencil and almost started a word search instead! 😅

“Even getting distracted by your own thoughts,”… there are people that don’t?
I scored 60

59…either AuDHDers have to stop being so relatable or I need to get assessed officially

I got 47. I am audhd, and i masked because my special interest was always human behavior. So i got labeled gifted and then went into the field of humam development... then trauma recovery... then applied neuroscience...

Until i entered menopause (esrly due to medical issues), and my symptoms all got way more intense. And now i know why i have been good at this work... and why i never saw it in myself...

I love you audhd peeps!
And all of you who are here bc you want to be kind to yourself and others, regardless of your brain function.

There is a hidden 16th question in this test that is often very telling...

Do you struggle with determining the difference between "struggling" and "normal" or with any of the answer categories (ex. The difference between "Sometimes" and "Often" or "Often" and "Very Often")?

Difficulty with this test style ends up often times being a better indicator for a masking autistic person than any of the questions within in it, due to their subjective (and not black & white) nature.

If anxiety makes normal situations feel far more intense than they should, Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz might help you understand why your mind reacts that way.

Haven't got this high of a score on a test since I was 12 😂

"Are you forgetful with important appointments or deadlines". I find questions like this hard to answer because i have systems in place that mean I always make appointments and meet deadlines. If the systems werent in place, or if I accidentally leave something off a list, I absolutely will forget it. For example I'm heavily reliant on a shopping list - if I know I need something, but forget to put it on the list, I'm very unlikely to remember and pick up that item.

Score of 47 in an already-diagnosed middle-aged AuDHD person. Most of my lower scores were things that used to be problems but I found routines and workarounds for, ie, "not anymore, because I do _ to avoid it/hide it." So yeah. Reasonable test.

It sucks to get a high score feeling a sense of imposter syndrome. I hope one day I can get my well deserved diagnosis.

Here's a rough transcript including the questions from the video you can read while listening along, if others (like me) are getting instantly distracted because you struggle with audio-only content:

Score 0 (never), 1 (rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), 4 (very often) for each question, you'll total them at the end

1) Do you struggle to finish tasks even when you start with enthusiasm?

2) Are you easily overwhelmed by sensory input like loud music or bright lights?

3) Is understanding social cues and maintaining eye contact a challenge for you?

4) Do you find it hard to sit still, always needing to move or fidget with your hands?

5) Do you have intense interests you spend hours on without getting bored?

6) Are you easily distracted by external stimuli or even your own thoughts?

7) Are changes in routine or unexpected events stressful for you?

8) Is organizing tasks and managing time a constant battle?

9) Do you engage in stimming behavior like hand flapping or rocking when excited or stressed?

10) Are you impulsive in your actions or decision making?

11) Is interpreting facial expressions or tone of voice difficult for you?

12) Do you struggle to switch between tasks or activities?

13) Are you forgetful about important appointments or deadlines?

14) Are you particularly sensitive or emotional when receiving criticism or rejection?

15) Do you often mask your true self to fit in socially?

Add the total score and compare your results. 0-20, you probably don't have ASD or ADHD. Middle scores might indicate one or the other. 30-60 may indicate you have AuDHD. (In any case, speak to a healthcare professional as this is not an official test).

By the way, I got a 48. (Edit) Diagnosed autistic in 2026. Therapists have told me I definitely exhibit autistic behavior and also non-hyperactive (inattentive) ADHD behaviors.

Some extra advice from my autism research hyper focus: for just ASD, the tests on the embracing autism website are really good. I scored moderately on the RAADS-R and very high on the masking test which explains lower scores on others. But yours is the first test I've come across that mixes both, and I really appreciate that!

I scored 56. I have been aware that I have ADHD but have been exploring AUDHD as it seems to fit more. Diagnoses is near impossible for me with my financial situation, my insurance doesn't cover it either. So, it's very helpful to find videos like yours that can give me some clarity. Thank you!!

To those finding this video and wondering "Am I?" I want to say I scored only 37 here, but passed with flying colours as Level 1 ASD in a formal assessment (with those practiced in masked women), so don't lose hope if you don't click with this questionnaire, it really only skims the surface! Stimming as described here I would have put as 0 but in reality I came to learn things like jiggling a leg, twirling my hair, moving my rings, or even humming a tune can be stimming. Just keep an eye out for other signs, and be sure to dig deep with not only a professional, but someone who may know uncommon ways that ASD or ADHD presents :)

I was seeing a therapist several years ago due to an illness that led to disability, in order to cope with my "new normal." Early on they asked me, "you know you are on the Aspergers/autism spectrum? Right?" I had absolutely no clue. I knew about ADHD, but not the slightest clue about the autism spectrum! The therapist honestly thought I already knew, because it was "so obvious" to them! My entire life finally made sense! 55 years of living with chaos finally made sense! And I scored a 60 on your test. I feel like there should have been another option on your test like "5 (Always)". 😆

I zoned out at question 3.  😆😂
I'll have to try again another time.  🙄

Scored a 39, mostly because I found solutions that work great for me to mitigate the major issues. Technology is a great helper here!
I don't plan to seek proper diagnosis, mostly because I don't have any major difficulty in life, I'm just curious to get to know myself better!

Diagnosed AuDHD, scored a 54. Getting 4 after 4 after 4 made me chuckle a little haha

I took it out of curiosity, got 38. I was diagnosed 3 days ago, i actually do have audhd.

(64M) I was professionally diagnosed 18 months ago, although I suspected it for years. I'm a high functioning autistic (top 17%) with a very high IQ (185), which explained some of my career choices. It was also how I isolated myself from general social interaction, which often seemed banal to me. This diagnosis has set me off on the greatest, most satisfying and rewarding adventure of my life. I'm commenting here because I think you're a caring person of high integrity and I'd like to help boost your channel.
