Feeling misunderstood

Hello Tonyelk142, do you know what diagnostic criteria was used? I was assessed using the DSM-5 so didn’t not have any involvement with the 12 score. I was given the diagnosis of ASD Level 1 which would have been possibly Asperger’s or “high functioning” although I don’t function highly at all! 

There is no "12" score - my first reply below explains what I believe Tonyelk142 is referring to (ie "Level 2" / "L2" / "l2")

Ah I see, thanks Bunny, I didn’t read that yet but will check it out.

Ok ambiguous use of words.

I was suggesting if it was used, my understanding is it should be part of a process, so it is one piece of information to help build a picture.

There's no requirement for every adult autism assessment to include use of the ADOS-2.

Per NICE guidelines, it's one of several formal tools that assessors can consider using to help with more complex adult diagnoses and assessments.
