ASD diagnosis for my son

We have just been given a diagnosis for our son with an ADOS score of 14. Can anyone shed light on how to interpret this score on the spectrum? They have given lots of observations but this is the bit I don't really understand?

Many Thanks !

  • Doctors look at the child's developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis. ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months of age or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered reliable. However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older.
