The process of reaching an ADHD diagnosis rests primarily on your    personal history. However neuropsychological testing can reveal a ton of useful information for expanding your understanding of your own ADHD. As Dr. H says in this ep, "It's the closest thing we have to an MRI of your mind." But as Ned also points out, this type of testing is not necessary for a diagnosis.
