I don't know if this has been posted on this site but I came across it somehow.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/misunderstoodminds/attention.html
It has both an audio and a visual test that you can take which simulates what it is like to read with an attention problem and also to listen to directions. I thought it was extremely accurate. I sent the link to some members of my family, who don't deny I have ADD but also don't understand the impact that it has on my day to day existence. I generally don't talk to them about it and they don't ask questions about it.
Everyone called me and told me how difficult it must be and the test amazed them. I kind of felt like they understood how difficult things have been.
