ADHD self-diagnosis survey

I'm investigating how frequently people self-diagnose ADHD, and what the outcome is for those who did (or did not).

Please participate if you have or strongly suspect you have ADHD! :)

Is it more common in people with ADHD??

Please take a moment to participate in this survey and be sure to share it! (I really need people without ADHD to participate too!)

OK, but - is silence LOUD to you?

@Forrest_T520_WR The source is the survey that was administered about 2 weeks ago

[who in the adhd? @whotheadhd]

People with ADHD were asked to rate their working memory and long-term memory, and here are the results -- this is honestly super interesting!

[who in the adhd? @whotheadhd]

@chasing_ling I would've loved more non-adhd involvement! There were only 6 of those 😭😭

Thinking about putting up a new form with just this question — maybe it'd get more responses? 🤔
