Need advice on ADHD questionnaire

I personally am going through a similar thing right now. What I’m doing is basically only telling my parents what they need to know. I said something along the lines of “we’re trying to figure out what’s going on so please answer honestly.” So they aren’t intentionally answering against the conditions I think I have. I’m still in the process of it so idk if that’s the best advice but that’s what I’m doing.

Does it have to be a parent that fills it out? I just had to have someone who knew me very well (so I had my sister fill it out). If this is the case, do you have any siblings or very close friends/family friends that could do it?

All them the questions without them knowing why tell them afterwards this why they are more honest in their answers

Fortunately, I had a parent who was supportive of my medicine, but I had another who hated the idea of me being medicated. Because of them, I have a really messy and convoluted history with different medicines (or lack of medicine). It's really difficult when you rely on a parent who really just can't seem to get it. Maybe you have a therapist or similar resource you can reach out to to help mediate, because it is so helpful to have even one parent on board. Wishing you the best! ❤️

Had a similar problem, and my doctor was kind enough to understand since its unfortunately a common bias/fear parents have of documented mental illness (and the meds aspect I guess)

Do you have any old report cards or feedback from teachers as a kid? I’d hand those in. I’d let them know that they are biased. I might also ask if another family member could fill it out?

How are you getting tested? Do your parents know?
