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?

  • From your last reply I totally see where your coming from. I just read it as a neurotipical. Yes, very naive of me.

    The one thing I will say is, I do understand my daughter as much as anyone could. I am the one who understands her frustration when she hears her sister chewing food too loudly(too loudly to her ears anyway) . When I say understand maybe a better word would be I know it bothers her for reasons no one else gets. When she won't wear buttons because 'other people might see them' I don't make her wear them, I buy clothes with no buttons because I get that for her own reasons she doesn't like them. I could go on. So yes, I don't understand where everyone on the spectrum is coming from but I do 'understand' my daughter.  I try and see as much as I can from her point of view. I'm new to all this yet I can't imagine someone experienced could understand every person on the spectrum as no one person with ASD is the same, all I can do is try. 

    Good luck to you longman.
