The Female Adult ADHD Scale-40 (FAAS-40) was developed to support recognition of ADHD presentations in adult women, particularly where masking, compensatory strategies, and internalised presentations may contribute to delayed or missed identification.

This professional white paper outlines the rationale, development, preliminary findings, and intended application of the FAAS-40 screening aid. The FAAS-40 is designed to support reflection, informed discussion, and consideration of formal assessment where appropriate. It is a supplemental screening aid and not a diagnostic instrument.
