A free adult ADHD screener

Short answer

The ASRS v1.1 Screener is a six-question self-report screening tool for adults 18 or older. It can be a starting point for a conversation about attention and daily functioning. ADHDFalcon shows the official result free, without an email or payment. A screening result is not a diagnosis.

What this tool offers

The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Screener asks about experiences over the past six months. This electronic version presents each of the six official questions in order, with the same five response choices as the form. The questions appear inside the screener rather than on this landing page.

After answering, you review all six selections on the official grid. Its shaded boxes are preserved, including text for screen readers. You can go back and edit answers before submitting. The result page then explains the screening outcome and shows your answer grid.

Who it is for

This tool is for adults 18 or older who want a structured starting point for reflection. It is a self-report screener, so the answers reflect your recollection of your experiences. It does not cover every difficulty or establish its cause. If you are under 18, a parent, guardian, school counselor or pediatrician can help you find appropriate support.

Your result is free

There is no email, account, payment or waiting period before the official outcome. The free page includes the shaded count, what it means, what it cannot tell you, and next steps. An optional paid educational report adds worksheets, background reading and appointment-preparation resources. It repeats the same screening result.

Limits and next steps

A positive screen is not a diagnosis. A result below the screening threshold does not rule out ADHD. Other experiences and health conditions can affect attention and activity. A qualified healthcare professional can consider history, functioning across settings and possible explanations.

You can bring concrete examples of difficulties and the answer grid to an appointment. You do not need a particular screening outcome to discuss ongoing concerns. ADHDFalcon is an independent educational website and is not a healthcare provider.

The 6-question Adult Self-Report Scale-Version1.1 (ASRS-V1.1) Screener is a subset of the 18-question Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale-Version1.1 (Adult ASRSV1.1) Symptom Checklist.
