My son finally had his assessment and got his diagnosis this week. His diagnosis is Autism
it was his 3rd and final appointment/assessment
but they didnt say what 'type' of autism he has.
he scored 20 in his ados assessment-they told us that anything above 10 is a diagnosis of autism
I asked what type of autism does he has? and asked if it is asd/aspergers, but he just said that is is all types are classed as "autism"
if was confused but as my knowledge is only basic, but i wanted to know his level but i never got a straight answer
we are awaiting a report in the post but until then i was hoping somebody may be able to help regarding his ados score
I think you get a diagnosis of ASC level 1,2 or 3 depending on the support you need.
I'm level 1, requiring minimum support - effectively Aspergers or High Functioning Autism
