Ados score of 6, got some characteristics

5ammy

Hi we have been having our son assessed a while now, we had the last meeting this week he scored 6. they said its the fact he is aggressive at home and not at school does not fit. the fact that he isn't as aggressive with his dad means he hasnt, and that when he built a cake he built 6 all in a line, doesnt count because when they asked him what flavour all the cakes were he could tell them.

In simple terms its my fault he is how he is, they did not listen to what I said at all.

I didnt bond with him they said, thanks a lot. I love my son with all my heart how can they say that they wasnt around when I had im rrrrrr. I just walked out.

What do I do now, what does the score mean

  • BTW, just to tell you OP, that I am an autistic adult.  I scored very low on empathy test and very high on all the autistic tests.  Yet usually no-one knows I have Asperger's until I tell them.  Even our local CAMHS were gobsmacked when I told them.  Clinical tools are only part of the assessment, and they are not even essential.  They are a guide which are best used for screening and not clinical decisions.  You cannot substitute for experience, being up-to-date on autism awareness research, clinical skills and knowledge - in conjunction with observation in a variety of environments and the taking of time.  It cannot be rushed.  It's not a questionnaire exercise!

    If all else fails, secretly video your son's behaviour if possible showing the triggers for aggression etc.  Send CAMHS a copy as evidence or use it for your 2nd opinion.
