My wife had her first meeting with a real adult ADHD expert (a local CHADD leader) on September 3. I completed the questionaires she gave me an sent them in by September 17 (my wife did not forward them to we for several days after she received them).
My wife finally completed her answers on Monday, October 19. I scanned them at work the next day and sent them in.
It took lots of reminders on my part. I even contacted the expert and she sent a followup to my wife about completing the forms.
Any wild discrepancies?

It turns out there were many internal inconsistencies. She indicated "I never worry" along with "I worry often" and similar contradictions--Consistanty inconsistant.
