ADOS 2 Modul 4

Hi,

During my diagnostics in the clinic 2 years ago, I was also examined with the ADOS 2 module 4. The report says that I was well above the cut off in social interaction and communication. I also had to describe a picture story and comics and brush my teeth. What is actually important in the ADOS? Is it about taking a perspective on other people's feelings and intentions? What exactly do the diagnosticians pay attention to or what must be paid attention to?
  • found it on internet. That was the entire text. There where no instructions on how it is used.  You need training on how to deliver the ADOS assessment, and on each of the scoring behaviours and how they are totalled.  

    to answer your question its all about each of those behaviours. How much of each on do u do or not do

  • Where did you get that? Is there more? So it's all about sending out non-verbal communication, describing feelings and empathy(perspective taking)? 

  • here are the things they look at in module 4 (ADOS 2 )
