Dear neurodivergent Twitterverse, I suspect one of my kids might have/be ADHD. I am suspicious of self-assessment tests, and would like to learn more about the SotA for testing (ideally quantitative tests without practice effects). What outside of TOVA exists? Anyone...

... with experience regarding TOVA or similar assessments?

Also, in spite of it being highly unlikely in my self-assessment: what reliable tests exist for adults to test for neurodivergent traits?

Not super useful input, but I literally just went through an adult diagnosis and can share how that went. There was a parent questionnaire about my childhood, school transcripts, a self-assessment and two 1on1 interviews. They basically just counted points based on my answers. And the whole thing left me a bit skeptical, a lot felt like interpreting a horoscope tbh.
Also there was a lot of focus on how much my "level of suffering" (Leidensdruck) is, which feels weird to me - if my environment is different and I don't "suffer" as much I don't have ADHD?
So no clue whether I have ADHD or not. But I did it because I want to try out medication under supervision to see whether I am able to take care of the things I struggle with more easily.
