ADOS Test for Adults

Is the ADOS test suitable for adults? I don't think it is. I had a test first half of last year and the end result was they couldn't give me a positive diagnosis (partly because I couldn't supply a full childhood history, which is impossible). These tests had me looking through a kids picture book and being asked what the story was! This is absurd. It might be suitable for kids, but for a 41 year old it's a joke.

    I had to do exactly the same things during my assessment, wishface. And I was 37 when I had to take the ADOS test. I had a hard time taking it serious for exactly the same reasons you mentioned. I still remember that book with the flying frogs quite vividly. The fact that the test was administered by a guy who seemed to be about 25 years old didn't help either...
