ASRS, developed by Kessler et al., is a six-item self-rated questionnaire measuring ADHD symptoms, and includes four items measuring inattention (items 1–4), and two items measuring hyperactivity (items 5–6) [46]. These six items are (1) trouble wrapping up the final details of a project, (2) difficulty getting things in order, (3) problems remembering appointments or obligations, (4) avoiding or delaying getting started, (5) fidgeting or squirming with hands or feet when sitting for long, and (6) feeling overly active and compelled to do things. The responses range from 0 to 4 (never to very often). Subjects reporting higher total score, present higher levels of ADHD symptoms. An individual with at least four symptoms is classified as having ADHD. The Thai version of the ASRS-v1.1 screener has been validated and used for screening adult ADHD; it shows a sensitivity of 0.93 and a specificity of 0.71 [47, 48]. Cronbach’s alpha for the study sample was 0.80.
