Relevant information may include developmental and childhood history, clinical interviews, standardized symptom rating scales, school or employment records, medical and psychiatric history, and observations from people familiar with the individual in different settings. ADHD is not established by a single laboratory, imaging, or cognitive test. The overall record should support persistent symptoms beginning before age 12, symptoms occurring in more than one setting, functional impairment, and consideration of other or co-occurring conditions that may affect attention, activity, or impulse control.
ADHD may be diagnosed in adulthood even when it was not formally recognized during childhood, but the history should support the presence of relevant symptoms before age 12. School records, earlier assessments, educational or employment history, family observations, and other historical information may help establish the developmental pattern. Sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, learning disorders, and other conditions that can contribute to attention or organizational difficulties should also be considered.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry expertise may be relevant when ADHD occurs with significant anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior, mood symptoms, other psychiatric conditions, or complex psychiatric medication issues in a child or adolescent. The appropriate specialist depends on whether the disputed questions center primarily on ADHD or on broader psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.
Neuropsychological testing can provide information about attention, working memory, processing speed, executive function, learning, and other cognitive abilities. It may help identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses or clarify learning and neurodevelopmental concerns, but it is not required to diagnose ADHD and should not be treated as a stand-alone ADHD test. The findings should be interpreted alongside developmental history, symptoms across settings, functional impairment, and the broader clinical record.

Treatment records may document medication use, behavioral interventions, school accommodations, symptom ratings, adverse effects, and changes in academic, occupational, social, or daily functioning. Comparing these records over time can show how symptoms and functioning changed alongside treatment while accounting for sleep, mood, environmental demands, and other influences. Improvement or lack of improvement with a particular treatment does not by itself confirm or exclude an ADHD diagnosis.
