ADOS-2 Test Protocol

Hogletia

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed a couple of years ago using a combination of clinical interviews and formal testing using the ADOS-2.

My clinical interview was very long and intense and asked me questions about childhood trauma, including things that I've never told anyone before.  By the time it ended, I was physically and emotionally drained.  The ADOS-2 took place after the clinical interview and I was so freaked out that I genuinely couldn't think straight and went into the ADOS-2 feeling like a zombie.

I wasn't behaving like my normal self at all and ended up scoring very high on the ADOS-2.  I strongly suspect that if the ADOS-2 had been conducted BEFORE the clinical interview, I would have got very different results.

I was hoping that someone would be familiar with the ADOS-2 test and could advise if this test was conducted according to accepted test protocol

Thanks
