Quiz vs. full clinical test
This quiz uses the same evidence-informed questions as a full screening, but it is not a clinical test. A professional evaluation includes a clinical interview, developmental history, and ruling out overlapping conditions. Think of this quiz as a first step that helps you decide whether that conversation is worth having.
