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.

From my perents perscpective I could have an arm hanging off and they wouldn't see it.
........that doesn't sound good 
........ why do you think that is? I am not sure if it is really any different than NT's but I have read about AS people who have both very good supportive relationships with parents and ones who have very bad relationships. Do you think either of your parents might be on the spectrum?
I have a weird relationship with my parents. I get on with them well, but they are old school in mindset. They see me as a figure that can do know wrong. If I followed my parents advice I'd be doing a dead end job and just getting on with things. My parents philosophy is just about working hard etc etc and I want more out of life than that so we clash but never fall out. They couldnt understand why I didnt want to work on chemical plants and wanted to got to Uni instead. I couldnt talk to my parents about being dyslexic, suspecting autism or anxiety etc. I get on better with them as I grow older, I take them to the football now and then. I don't think it's even a parent issue I have to some degree, I find that all of my mums side of the family are similar.
I think my Mum is on the spectrum because:
1. Theres a few cases of Autism/suspected Autism on her side of the family.
2. Extremely rigid in mindset.
3. Seems to be vitriolic (but I think it's just frustration). I'm the same to a degree.
4. Repetative use of language, not fully understanding what the words mean.
5. No friends, at all. Hates being social/attending social events.
