Confusing question: No one must be tested for anything, you are free to live your life in whatever state of function you have. If your question is do you need testing before qualifying for Ritalin (methylphenidate) treatment, the answer is yes.The feds follow this as a controlled drug.A physician who prescribes this without documenting need can lose his/her license.Those in possession of the drug without prescription can end up jailed.

Yes: As an adult, if you did not have ADHD as a child, have not had a brain injury or infection, it is unlikely you have aDHD. You should have an appropriate evaluation to determine what you are dealing with.
