ADOS 2 module 4 help

Ukulelegeek

I'm just looking for other adults experiences of the ADOS 2 module 4.

I was recently assessed (my first face to face meeting) and I was asked a lot of questions about childhood and my life etc.

At the end of the assessment and nearly two hours of talking, we did a couple of tasks. The first one I was given a laminated paper with shapes to fill and a handful of shapes. My mind was so focused on the task I forgot to listen to any instructions. So when I had used up all my pieces, instead of asking, I reached across the table and grabbed the remaining pieces from the assessor. She even said, "oh, i was thinking you would as me for them." I was so focused on completing the puzzle, I dont think I even said anything. Now I am feeling like a Wally. 

Then I had to pick a scence and describe what was going on. Basically it was a holiday scene with lots of water sports and people doing activities. When asked where I would be. I said across the water on a dessert island. I pointed out the jumping fish. And then the airplane saying i would be on that going home. 

I'm not sure what they were looking for here. And I'm wondering if I missed something / did something wrong. 

I have more sessions coming up before tye diagnosis so maybe they will feed back to me there about these activities?

  • Those tasks aren’t anything to be concerned about as the assessors are simply looking at your style of going about certain things, so they can give you a more detailed report. They are looking at things like attention to detail, hyper focus and and whether you look at the big picture or focus on specific things. On their own, the tasks wouldn’t diagnose ASD, so you don’t need to worry. 

    I did similar tasks in my assessment and the subsequent medical report helped me to be more aware of my challenges and strengths.
