Is there accurate tests to know the reason of lack of concentrartion ? if it's adhd ?

Not really: There are screening tests and formal neuropsychological testing that will be helpful in the diagnosis. Add is a learning disability that you are born with, it is on autism spectrum and better described as an autism spectrum learning disorder.

Yes: No one specific test can measure all these factors, but several tests in a battery of pencil and paper and performance testing can identify adhd successfully.
