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.

  • The test itself seemed acceptable in what it was trying to acheive (social cummincation and imagination etc). I do agree that it does not pick up on work related difficulties, in all honesty I could probably do with pouring my heart out a little bit to them, but I never do that kind of thing in public especially to people I don;t know. I find a lot of my life confused by instruction due to not interacting like others doo. I've moved into a storage cupboard at work as it's easier than sharing an office with people who I dislike.

    Anger-wise I've always had a bit of fire in my belly, but lately I feel constantly frustrated with it. I'm guessing it's causes are lack of acheivement and social injustices. I'm 30 and I think I won't get any further in life, due to finance/Autism/Dyslexia (if its not autism I definately have an unspecified problem) related difficulties.  From a social injustice perspective the government are just getting to me, I current work part time but my job is at risk with it being public sector, if I lost my job I couldn't afford not to go to the job centre. Job centre would torture me with pointless courses which would make me worse etc. I wouldn't get on the sick, if I did I'd get hammered and have HATE-US (aka Atos) chasing me. I also feel aggreived at public school boys doing well as a right of passage. I suppose I'm in a poverty trap with very little hopeFrown As a protest to the government I'm looking to purchase a black triangle armband that the Nazi's made "a social/work shy" prisoners wear in the concentration camps and wear it whenever I enter a goverment building.

    I also do and always have not got on with the mass populus.
