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 can definitely relate to the feeling of inadequacy for not working. That is the main thing that gets me down now.  I know I am fortunate to get the benefitand not be required to work, and I am grateful for it, but I would prefer to earn my own living.  The way I try to look at is that if the work place was different and more accomodating then I would be able to.

    Who says a person 'should' be able work 37 hours a week?  I think you are doing great working at all. Try not to compare yourself with NTs that don't have your sensitivities. Although your income is small it is still more than the benefit.  When I looked at DLA I thought it didn't apply to me but the psycholgist that diagnosed me said I should apply. I get the low mobility because when I go places I need someone to go with me.  If there are places an NT would be able to go but you cannot, on your own, then you may qualify.
