Attention difficulties are not only about distraction. They can involve organization, time, working memory, restlessness, impulsivity, and the amount of effort it takes to stay on track. This check-in looks for patterns that may be worth discussing further.
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
About the evidence: Project Semicolon custom attention-and-focus check-in informed by adult ADHD symptom domains. It does not reproduce the WHO ASRS.
Project Semicolon reviews assessment wording, scoring logic, safety routing, and source status separately from the directory experience. Custom check-ins are clearly distinguished from validated instruments.
We store the completed assessment type, result band, score when applicable, limited secondary signals, and basic engagement events for aggregate metrics. Raw question responses are not stored.
This assessment is a screening and support-navigation tool, not a diagnosis or substitute for professional medical care.
No. Distraction is common and can come from many causes. ADHD involves a broader, persistent pattern that typically begins earlier in life and causes impairment across settings.
Yes. Some people are diagnosed in adulthood, but clinicians still look for evidence that relevant patterns were present earlier in development.
It can. Anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and other conditions can affect concentration and organization.
If these patterns are persistent and disruptive, consider discussing them with a clinician who evaluates ADHD and overlapping conditions.
