For many Spring Farm adults, an ADHD assessment brings relief rather than a label. It explains why you've struggled with things that seem easy for others, why you've felt like an underachiever despite being intelligent, and why certain strategies that work for everyone else don't work for you.
Hyperfocusing on things that interest you while neglecting everything else
Zoning out during conversations or while reading important documents
Difficulty sitting still in meetings or restlessness in sedentary situations
Emotional sensitivity and taking criticism very personally
Relying on adrenaline and deadlines to get things done
A history of underachievement relative to your intelligence and ability

Questions Spring Farm adults ask about ADHD assessments.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood, but many people aren't diagnosed until adulthood. Symptoms may have been managed, masked, or attributed to other causes earlier in life. An assessment looks at both your current functioning and your developmental history.
Absolutely. Many adults with ADHD, especially those who are intellectually gifted, compensate through intelligence and effort during school years. The cracks often appear later when life demands more complex executive functioning, like managing a career, household, or family simultaneously.
An ADHD assessment specifically examines attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, and developmental history. It includes ADHD-specific questionnaires and looks at how these patterns have manifested throughout your life, not just in the present moment.
Not necessarily. Many adults manage ADHD effectively through strategies, coaching, and lifestyle adjustments. If medication is something you'd like to explore, we can refer you to a psychiatrist. The decision is always yours.
An adult ADHD assessment typically involves two to three sessions plus a feedback appointment. We gather information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy and thoroughness.
