I've recently been progressing towards an assessment. My GP contacted me following a referral from my therapist and requested that I complete a couple of questionnaires. One of those questionnaires - the past and present behaviour schedule' seems seriously flawed, and not at all geared towards possible adult diagnosis.
Has anyone else experienced similar frustrations and can you offer any guidance in terms of how significant these questionnaires prove to be in the wider context of assessment?
The questionnaire presents scenarios in stark, noticeably biased terms often asking the interviewee to comment on whether the subject exhibited certain behaviours or was a "good" child/infant. I asked my 80 year old mother to help answer some of the questions about infancy and early childhood, and honestly, it seemed like a absurd undertaking, and quite frustrating.
