The test I was given is called DIVA 2.0. It says it is based on DSM-IV criteria. I have no understanding of how DSM criteria evolved.

The DIVA 2.0 test notes, "Research has indicated that at adult age, four or more characteristics of attention problems and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity are sufficient for the diagnosis of ADHD to be made." I had seven out of seven characteristics for inattentive type ADHD.

I am sure I did not have the symptoms during childhood. I started facing these around 2011 and very distinctly in 2012, when I was 35 years of age.
