Hi.
I got my appointment this morning and it talks of Risk assessment and ADOS assessment.
I feel fine, not a threat to self or others but still, it’s a bit scary. Can anyone tell me more about it?
thanks
I don't know about the ADOS assessment (although plenty of pages came up when I googled it - other search engines are available)
As far as the risk assessment is concerned, they owe you and the community a duty of care (and they also need to protect themselves in case you subsequently do something.)
I also felt fine when I was assessed (although I had not been fine in the past) and I don't remember being asked any specific questions during my assessment. My diagnosis report contains a sentence, I think, along the lines of not a risk when diagnosed but that was all.
