What does the task of reading that frog book test specifically?

Zuriiix

Hi I just did my ados assessment and was kinda boggled by the frog book and the behaviour it would reveal. During my assessment I just said stuff along the lines of “the frogs are going through the town, now they’re going across the rooftops.” Basically, pretty mundane. But the task was so straight forward im just asking what exactly the task tests you on? And if there’s anything different that an autistic person might do instead (not to generalise autism but out of curiosity). Yes I know I should just wait for my results but it’s ages away and I’m simply too impatient.

  • I suspect that it is supposed to test the ability to string a narrative together and if you use gestures to illustrate what you are saying, because autistic people are not supposed to have imaginations, be able to create imaginary conversations, or use gestures. Plus autistic people are supposed to get hung up on the details of why a frog is eating bread, when frogs do not eat bread and suchlike. All outdated idiotic nonsense, in my opinion. I'm just glad that my assessment was by a consultant psychiatrist, who just had a long conversation with me about my traits, difficulties and history.
