Here is a checklist that can be used to evaluate your social skills. It’s also available on the CHADD website. (CHADD (Children & Adults with Attention Disorder ))

ASSESSMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS

Interviews and self-report questionnaires can be used to assess social skills and interpersonal interactions in adults with ADHD. A mental health professional will assess the adult’s social interactions during a diagnosis of ADHD. It is important that questionnaires include both the self-report of an individual with ADHD as well as reports from spouses, significant other, and friends.

These types of items may be included in the questionnaire:

-Difficulty paying close attention to others, missing pieces
-Appears as if
is being ignored-Difficulty in taking turns in conversation (tendency )
to interrupt often-Difficulty following through on tasks and/or responsibilities
-Failing to use proper manners
-Mistaken social cues
-Disorganized lifestyle
-Sharing information that is inappropriate
-Being distracted
by sounds or other noises-Flooding or being overwhelmed can cause
to be shut down.-Disorganized thoughts
-Rambling or straying off topic during conversations
-Ending abruptly a conversation

You can learn more about ADHD adults, particularly women, and how they struggle to make lasting friendships and social interaction.

Although prescription stimulants are often highly effective in reducing ADHD symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults, problems of non-medical misuse and abuse of prescription stimulants among adolescents, college students, and adults have become evident in recent years. Students who are unable to do a lot of work want to reap the benefits of stimulant medication. Many students will ask their friends, acquaintances, and even strangers if they have prescriptions to sell them their medication. Other students might steal medication from an ADHD student. This webinar will provide information for parents, college students, and professionals on how to prevent misuse, abuse and diversion.
