Diagnosis in adults

NAS63610

The first part of the diagnosis is a telephone interview with a parent or older brother or sister who knew you as a child or who knows you well.

What about the second part? I've seen here in order to assess you the assessors give you tasks to do and these are aimed at children.

Is this correct?

  • Hi. I think it depends on the diagnostic service assessing you. The first stage for mine was a series of questionnaires; one set had to be filled out by me, and I had two more sets for someone who knew me as a child (my mum, in my case) and someone who knows me well now (my partner, who lives with me). The second stage was a telephone assessment with me; this happened about a month ago. The third stage is going to be the face-to-face ADOS assessment; I'm told that I don't need to bring a family member for that (again, I think that varies depending on the assessors). I think it does involve assessment tasks, but I'm not sure what exactly.
