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 rang the Autism team for some clarity. The Autism team do not I have Autism, but they do think I have ADHD. Therefor I am being reffered for an assesment for ADHD. However the Autism people have said it's unlikely that I'll be adble to obtain a diagnosis of ADHD because I won't give them access to my parents. 

    I didn't know I had rights to access my GP records. I will investigate that, I need to go in to my GP's later today. 

    I'm considering ringing the CPN like you said. I have no desire to engage with the current CPN because I feel as tho they can't be bothered with me.

    Yeah communucation is a major problem to me. I can speak well, but I have what I call "ums and ah" moments. I don't like eyecontact. My girlfriend helps me at the assesments to help drive my point accross. Im very poor with revailing feeling's too.

    I feel that some the barriers I endure with the NHS are because I'm not severly obviously disabled/different. I have many problems, but they are small problems (compaired to other people) that have a big cumilative effect on my wellbeing.
