ADOS for girls?

Catlady31

Hi,  I'm looking for advice regarding the ADOS for my 11 year old through CAMHS.  My daughter has done this assessment but couldn't do a couple of the tasks, she just didn't do them, didn't say anything as she was not sure what to do.  I'm wondering if this will make any difference to the result?. Her school have not seen anything to suggest she is autistic.  She is also anxious and has selective mutism so I am worried how accurate this is going to be.

    Yes, she told me she couldn't do the story because she couldn't think of one using the objects on the table but Im worried the assessor doesn't know the reason she didn't do it, she told me but not the assessor.  They may think she didn't do it because of her anxiety of speaking as she has selective mutism too and gets stressed talking in front of people.
