ADOS assesment (Adult)

Goatworshiper

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.

    I used to think that, Goat.

    And before ESA came in it was probably true.

    However, I did go throught the hell of claiming JSA and getting sent on pointless courses by the JobCenter that just made me worse, and worse to the point where I had no choice other than to claim ESA.

    Now, getting through the assesment and appeal wasn't easy, but I did with the help my Mum and the local CAB, and I'm now on ESA, get DLA, and most importantly I don't have ATOS 'chasing' me!

    I hope it never comes to this, but if you do become a 'victim of austerity', well, hopefully you'll have a diagnosis before then, but either way, go to your local CAB and get help from them to claim ESA, and to get through the assesment and probably inevitable appeal, and then claim DLA (if these things even still exist then).

    It's really not as bad as some of the horror stories you hear would make you think (that's not to say it's 'good' either, but you have to remember that the media exagerates isolated incidences to make it seem like they're the norm, when more often they're not).
