The self-check.
This is the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) — the screening questionnaire used by health services, reproduced here in full.
The eighteen questions in this self-check are the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist. They are reproduced word for word; MyADHD Malaysia did not write them and has not altered them.
The checklist was developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD, which included:
The questions are consistent with DSM-IV criteria and address how ADHD symptoms show up in adults.
The scoring is the instrument’s own. Part A is the six-question screener, and an answer counts when it falls in that question’s shaded band on the printed form.
Part B carries no score at all. The form is explicit that “no total score or diagnostic likelihood is utilized” for those twelve.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist can diagnose ADHD. A high score is a reason to book that conversation, not an answer; a low score does not rule anything out.
Your answers are stored, and this is what that means.

Before the questions.
They stay in this browser with your answers. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you sign in at the end and agree to it.
Last step.
Your report is one press away. This is what gets kept alongside it. Read the notice before you tick anything — it is short, and it is the part that actually matters.
Before we keep anything — what MyADHD keeps, and why. If you go on, MyADHD (hello@myadhd.my) keeps your name, your Google email, your age, your gender, what you told us about diagnosis, a phone number if you give one, your answers and your Part A score. The answers and the diagnosis are about your health, which makes them sensitive personal data under Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 — and the law asks you to agree to those separately. That is the second box. Three purposes and no others: to follow up about ADHD support if you tick the third box; to know which record is yours, so you can ask to see it or delete it; and, with your name and everything else identifying stripped out, to count how Malaysians score. We do not sell it. Nobody sees it outside MyADHD and the providers who hold it for us — Supabase, our database, and Vercel, our host — who may store it on servers outside Malaysia. None of this is obligatory: close the page and nothing is kept — your answers have stayed in this browser until now, and they go with it. The phone number is optional on its own. To see, correct or delete what we hold, write to hello@myadhd.my and we will answer within 21 days. We keep a record for 24 months after your last self-check, and then it is deleted automatically.
Sebelum kami menyimpan apa-apa — apa yang MyADHD simpan, dan mengapa. Jika anda teruskan, MyADHD (hello@myadhd.my) akan menyimpan nama anda, e-mel Google anda, umur anda, jantina anda, maklumat diagnosis yang anda berikan, nombor telefon anda jika anda memberikannya, jawapan anda dan skor Bahagian A anda. Jawapan dan maklumat diagnosis itu berkaitan dengan kesihatan anda, yang menjadikannya data peribadi sensitif di bawah Akta Perlindungan Data Peribadi 2010 — dan undang-undang meminta anda bersetuju kepadanya secara berasingan. Itulah kotak kedua. Tiga tujuan, dan tiada yang lain: untuk menghubungi anda tentang sokongan ADHD jika anda menanda kotak ketiga; untuk mengetahui rekod mana milik anda, supaya anda boleh meminta melihatnya atau memadamnya; dan, setelah nama anda dan segala butiran pengenalan lain dibuang, untuk mengira bagaimana rakyat Malaysia mendapat skor. Kami tidak menjualnya. Tiada sesiapa melihatnya selain MyADHD dan penyedia yang menyimpannya bagi pihak kami — Supabase, pangkalan data kami, dan Vercel, hos kami — yang mungkin menyimpannya pada pelayan di luar Malaysia. Semua ini tidak wajib: tutup halaman ini dan tiada apa-apa disimpan — jawapan anda kekal dalam pelayar ini sehingga sekarang, dan hilang bersamanya. Nombor telefon adalah pilihan tersendiri. Untuk melihat, membetulkan atau memadam apa yang kami simpan, e-mel hello@myadhd.my dan kami akan menjawab dalam masa 21 hari. Kami menyimpan rekod selama 24 bulan selepas semakan kendiri terakhir anda, dan kemudian ia dipadam secara automatik.
Not this one.
The ASRS is the Adult self-report scale. It was written for people 18 and over, and its scoring has only ever been tested on them.
So a number from it would not mean anything for you. That is not a brush-off — it is the instrument being honest about what it is.
If focus, restlessness or getting started are hard right now, the person to talk to is a GP or a school counsellor. They can refer you to someone who assesses young people.

Part A, done.
Your score comes from those six. Twelve more questions give a clinician extra context — they do not change the score, and they take about three minutes.
Your result is ready.
Google gives us your name and email — not your calendar, your contacts or anything else. We don’t sell it, and there is no newsletter. The next screen is Google’s own; you come straight back to your report.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist can diagnose ADHD. A high score is a reason to book that conversation, not an answer; a low score does not rule anything out.
Marked answers fall in that question’s shaded band — the ones a clinician will ask about first.
