ADOS assesment (Adult)

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.

  • Thanks for the post. I will check out the literature you have recomended. 

    I don't get any help at all from my MHS services. The CPN whom I am under has not contacted me for more than a year, so the chances of cbt are zero.

    Because I'm not good at expressing feelings and emotions It's probably difficult for anyone else to understand my turnmoil. 

    I've basically got a referral to an ADHD team because the Autism team feel that's whats wrong with me. I can't provide them with the Neurosdevelopmental info they will want. I'm similtaniously exploding and feeling exhausted.

    People are acknowleding I have a problem, but I can't seem to get any help or support. In addition to this I've had a sensation on my mouth for the last two years and the GP and Dentist just dismiss it. I'm starting to lose all faith in the NHS. 

    I have problems swallowing medication, so I'm given antidepressants as a solution. But now the pharmacist at the doctors wants to give me this as a dispearsable tablets instead. It just seems that no one wants to help and I'm feeling more adrift than ever.

    I know that I'm feeling unwell but I don't know if its anxiety or depression or something else. I'm knackered, my chest is pounding, Im ranty and apathetic all rolled into one.
