On-line tests = junk: Don't believe a test you took on line. You need to be evaluated by a licensed psychologist or physician for such a diagnosis. I also noticed that you are 48 years old. If you didn't have a history of ADHD as a child it is unlikely that you have one now. I hope that helps clear things up. :)

Unreliable: Online tests can steer an effected segment of the population for a proper evaluation, but that is their only value. Lack of effective sleep, health issues, nutritional deficits and social anxiety all produce symptoms which can overlap with focus disorders. I find the chance of any adult being affected who was not as a kid very unlikely. A proper evaluation can sort out the problem.
