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?

  • My comments aren't meant to offend anyone and were directed at longman. I feel his response to me was typical neurotipical. Which I find offensive. Iunderstand people on the spectrum must have a lot of negativity and misunderstanding directed at them and I feel as a nt I got the brunt of some of longmans frustration. All I'm here for is to help my little girl and understand ASD better. If I ever say anything disparaging I will always apologize, but my first opening question was innocently asked as a concerned parent, I did not expect to be critized for it. When I said longman should try and understand nt's more, I just meant, the last comment I pointed out and found to be rude, seemed to me. Like I was being judged from one paragraph. I understand about as much on ASD as people on the spectrum understand nt's, yet I'm the one being insensitive? I was not rude or assuming in my first question, as I believe longman was to me. I'm trying to learn that's why I'm here. I just felt that longman was referring to me as being typical neurotipical naive. And I felt that was unfair. As I've said now twice, if I read it wrong I apologize. But I read it a few times and tried to see it another way and failed.
