Assessment

NAS78369

I am due to have an autism assessment by a Psychologist from the mental health team.

Anyone that has had an assessment shed any light as to how they go? Will they tell me that day if I have autism or will there be a few sessions? I filled out two questionnaires already for them. 

What happens in terms of support if they think autism is likely?

  • My assessment was done using ADOS 2 mid pandemic. It took 2 or 3 sessions. Mostly over phone but the last one was over zoom. It takes the form of a structured conversation. So the interviewer will ask you to talk about yourself and particular topics about yourself and once they’ve got you talking on a topic they’ll mostly let you ramble. Lastly there was the zoom interview which included some actual tests like being shown a story book and asked questions about it and play acting with props.
