CDC stuff about ADD / ADHD:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/index.html
It includes the DSM 5 diagnostic criteria, epidemiological statistics, and treatments.
I don't think the CDC can fully account for the increase in the rate of diagnosed ADHD over the last 20 years. Certainly, the media must play some part in the increase in parental awareness.
This is the Grohol online quiz for adult ADD / ADHD:
"Use this quiz to help determine if you need to see a mental health professional for diagnosis and treatment of ADD or ADHD as an adult."

I am curious to know what people who actually have ADD / ADHD think of this quiz.
