ADOS assesment (Adult)

What should I expect with an ADOS assesment?

I have one soon, and I understand it is to test how I interact with situation but I don't know what to expect.

  • Had the ADOS assesment this afternoon. It was a bit of a weird one, the nurse give me a spatial task that took about 30 seconds. Then the nurse showed me a picture of America with lots of cartoon drawings on it, such as an oil min in texas etc and I had to describe it, I thought that was easy. That led to them trying to have a conversation about holidays with me, which didnt go quite so well.

    Then they had a story book, where it started with words and went on to picture and I had to describe the story, again I struggled. The last task was making a story up from 3 objects which I just couldnt do.

    No feedback, not sure what it means. Apparently there is a letter in the post with my last diagnostic date, then they'll feedback.
