Frequently asked questions
How is a self-assessment different from a diagnosis?
A self-assessment helps you reflect on patterns. A diagnosis requires a clinician to review history, impairment, and other factors.
Is my data stored or shared?
No. The assessment runs entirely in your browser. Your results stay on your device.
What should I bring to a clinician?
Bring your results, notes about daily challenges, and examples from childhood and adulthood if possible.
Can I take the assessment again later?
Yes. Many people retake it after major life changes or to track progress with coping strategies.
