ados assessment

Mia151515

hi

i have my ados assessment on wednesday (not sure if i spelt it correct).

Does anyone have any advice as to what the clinician is looking for/what they ask me? I am high masking and really worried of misdiagnosis especially as i am a verbal woman.

thanks in advance Slight smile

  • I think much of the purpose of ADOS is to figure out if you are masking. There are various exercises designed to gauge things like imagination but most of it is really about how you interact with the assessor.

    The ADOS section of my diagnostic report spoke heavily about my body language, facial expression, use of gestures, reciprocity in conversation etc and I felt during the assessment that the SLT was trying different things to gauge if I was masking.

    They should probably also get you to complete the CAT-Q test as part of your assessment (specifically to measure masking).
