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.

  • If you have been put to the next stage of assessment, I would say from the observation, there was enough evidence. Its taken 6 years for us to get the ADOS assessment, as my daughter was always seen as shy, anxious and was very quiet in school. At 17 we have just had the ADOS assessment and have now been put forward for the ARI, feel pleased that being heard. Sound like not understanding the task, will help towards moving to the next assessment, if not would have discharged her.
