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?

    The problem with being a female Aspie is that the proffessionals generally feel any form of autism is mainly a male 'condition', though personally, I feel this is because of how boys think.

    All males at a young age don't tend to think about something, they do, then deal with the consequences. Young females tend to stand back and think about the situation before getting involved, hence why I was able to 'act normal' for so long around adults, but struggled socialising with others my age. If anything, bring this up at her assessment, highlight how shes -learned- how to act in situations, and that it doesn't come to her naturally. Its one of the most classic symptoms in girls from what I'm told. :)
