Sally Anne test

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?

  • Thanks for your perspective kalojaro. It helps to see things from an aspies point of view. My daughter is also very creative. It's good to know what to expect in the assessment, the only reason I worry is because she's so controlled and 'normal' when she needs to be but I'm sure these tests are designed to get past that. 

    Us mums just try our best and hopefully I can be at the place you and your mum are if we get a diagnosis, thanks for your kind words x
