Sally Anne test

Justfour

Hi all. Do you know if this is used to test kids in their assessment? I read about it and did it with my 11 year old, just saying it was arest to see if she was creative or liked science. She failed the test. She then wanted me to ask everyone that was there to do it. Not wanting to make her suspicious  (we are waiting for an assessment so there has been no discussion about her possiblediagnosis).  I asked her sisters and they both said different to her, she then said oh, yeah it's basket (she said box) now I'm worried if they do the Sally Anne test in her assessment she will say what she thinks she should say, not what she actually thinks! Should I just tell who ever does her assessment what has happened? 

Parents

  • I wasn't directing my NT references to you as a parent, and my apologies if you thought that. I wasn't replying to be "superior" or "belittle" you.

    As a parent you may already have found that the NT world outside isn't all that switched on to autism. Many of us adults have had our fill of NT naivity about AS, and unless things change, by the time your daughter reaches adulthood you may well understand that reaction.

    Parents are, I suppose, NTs as well, although parents groups tend to be autistic by proxy and families may show autistic traits. To do the best for your daughter you need to switch in to understanding of what it means. If your perspective is an NT mystified at her difficulties, which is my impression of your reaction, it might be useful at this point to step back and have a rethink.

    I cannot help if you're only approach is to take things as a personal sleight.
