Question
I am a mental health clinician, I am looking for a good online test specifically for ADD. I have found several for ADHD but I would like some resources to use with my clients. Thanks

Answer
Firstly, what are your qualifications and where do you practice from. The most important aspect is not so much what online program you use, but how you use it and what you insight is into  a medical neurological condition. Obvoiusly just as important is what you do with the diagnostic  results. ADHD and ADD are two poles of the same condition.One mainly behaviour problems  and one mainly learning problems. There are also the combined type. There is far more than the outdated DSM 1V suggests to diagnosing ADD/ADHD.
