The computerized test sounds very interesting. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe it's just because I like gadgets and tech, but the idea of being able to test something physical like this sounds very cool to me.

I've seen many online self-assessments that use some version of the DSM questionnaire that you've mentioned. I have a hard time committing to a binary answer to an open question so these are always a nightmare for me. My answer is usually something more like "sort of" or "depends" and I get very stressed out that I'm not being truthful or accurate. I've found ways to manage my symptoms out of necessity over the years and I think that might skew my answer to some of the questions also. I still usually end up answering "yes" to five of them, but that seems like I'm on the cusp. I just feel like a list of 9 written questions lacks nuance and that's why I was hoping to hear that a more holistic approach would be part of the diagnosis process.
