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.

    During my assessment I did not have to look at any story books or puzzles. The assessment team just interviewed my parents and I.

    I did fill out the EQ and AQ, though.

    Also I had a lengthy Educational Psychologist report at my disposal, which included the WISC 111 intelligence test, taken when I was 10 years old. This provided them with enough relevant assessment data.

    Assessments seem to vary so much, and you would think there would be some degree of standardisation.
