In a world full of pop-up offers and confusing promises, it’s easy to get swept up by services charging for things that should be free — like ADHD screening. If you’re unsure whether you or your child might benefit from a full ADHD assessment, please know this: validated ADHD screening tools are available online for free, and they’re a great place to start.
We’ve recently noticed some providers promoting “screening as part of their package” to suggest added value — but this isn’t the case. In fact, the most widely used and validated screening tool, the ASRS (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale) developed by the World Health Organization, is freely accessible to anyone.

This simple, easy-to-use questionnaire can help you reflect on your focus, attention, impulsivity, and more — and give you a sense of whether pursuing a formal assessment makes sense for you. You don’t need to spend a penny just to find out if ADHD might be part of your story.
Still unsure? That’s okay. At ADHD Direct, we offer dedicated consultation sessions with specialist clinicians, designed to guide you with honesty and clarity — whether online or at our newly designed, neurodivergent-friendly clinic.
We’re passionate about access, authenticity, and doing what’s right for patients — not sales. So before you pay for something you don’t need, try the ASRS screening first.
