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?

  • Actually this is a bit unfair JustFour. I don't think Longman was being rude, and I did not think his comments about naivety were directed at anyone in particular, but it is undoubtably true - many 'neurotypicals' do not understand ASC. I personally think your last comment is a bit dubious, to say the least. People with AS, like myself, spend our lives trying to understand people without our issues. So to suggest that we need to try harder is rather insensitive. In fact we need a break from the daily struggles the 'NT' world hurls at us.It is the duty of those without AS to use their social abilities to try and understand us more, and not the other way round.  You are not comparing like with like: there is a fundamental power/ability imbalance
