Hi
Can anyone help me with these results - my daughters anxiety is through the roof, she is on low dose antidepressant for almost 2 years as the wait for an ADOS was lengthy. There’s no known reason for her anxiety - it’s thought it’s caused from the ASD. I discussed the anxiety during a telephone appointment shortly after the ADOS assessment but was told I have to return to cahms or see my GP to address this.
My daughter is 13 and homeschooled - I always thought if she was on the spectrum that she would be deemed as high functioning yet these scorings seem to suggest her otherwise or am I just interpreting them incorrectly?
I really want to help with the anxiety- can anyone recommend anywhere privately that could help her, it’s heartbreaking to see her so frightened all of the time xx We are in Birmingham West Midlands
Thank you
Result of the ADOS-2 Assessment: Result from the ADOS-2 assessment showed an overall cut-off score of around 19 plus 2 with a comparison score of 10 indicating a high level of autistic spectrum related symptoms. It’s in with my clinical impression of xxxxx today. Though there was a significant amount of anxiety too, it seems that she really did struggle with a two-way social interaction.
