I'm a psychiatrist in Shanghai, China. I've developed a lot of diagnostic tool for ADHD, each has 0.8-0.9 sensitivity and specificity. The first one is Attention Test. I've developed a method to test the attention ability of the testee, and now it has been set as a procedure on a PC, and the testee can hear a voive reading the numbers showed on the screen of PC, and then he can check which is read wrong and at last the software can give a record and a result. If the score is larger than 10, the testee is ADHD. the sensitivity and specificity are 0.8 to 0.9
The second one is called Turning Hang Test. Let the testee sit at the table, and put the hands close together on the edge, then turn to palm up position but still close together. If the testee is ADHD, he has to move his whole arm during the turning of hands from palm up to palm down.
The third is called Acetylcholine Dermal Test. Intradermally injecting a dilute solution of acetylcholine into the forearm of the testee as a small bump, the skin of normal child will show a large area of 'goose-skin', while that of ADHD will show nothing.
