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.

    Why is it so important to have a formal diagnosis? It won't change who you are. You will still be at a particular point on the spectrum between "not at all autistic" and "fully, completely, absolutely autistic". Have you thought of dealing with yourself as "autistic enough to benefit from using strategies and techniques that autistic people use"?

    have you read any books that would help you understand yourself, and have a better life, as an autistic person? E.g "living well on the spectrum" by valerie gaus.
