1. Are you finding "approximately 5th percentile in the population" somewhere in the DSM, or did you make it up? 2. This is no longer considered true; see any of the recent research on adult ADHD. The last two are obviously good ideas, but they don't really winnow down the pool very much. |

1. There are normed rating scales. I assume OP was also tested on one when s/he filled out those additional forms. If I recall correctly they use the 5th percentile.
2. DSM-5 still requires symptom onset before the age of 12. As far as I know some researchers advocate raising the age limit further into adolescence, but don't want to get rid of it.
