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. 

Parents

    I think that typically parents would give developmental history to the Pyschologist, however since my parents and siblings think I couldn't possibly have autism they would be unreliable and not giving reliable evidence. So my long term girlfriend (of nearly 14 years) give the information she had/knew/have access too hence the ammended part.

    ok, that makes sense. My parents were not exactly understanding. In my case I think it was lack of knowledge and maybe some sort of misplaced guilt? Maybe they didn't want to except that I was 'different'?

    Have you had an appt yourself with the Psychologist or is it just your girlfriend?
