ADOS Assessment as an Adult/Young Adult

Be VERY honest. Unmasking was alien to me when I went, so I was literally starting to drop the mask through the days of testing and evaluating. Everytime I realized that an answer I had given the Dr was not correct, I would email him immediately and explain. He understood completely and it helped my testing immensely. And lastly, don't sweat it! You are going in there for a service for YOU❤️

Yeah! I went through a similar experience. I was 18 and was still referred to the children's services just because there was no other options for me. What you're going through is so valid:)

I had ADOS as part of my autism assessment and despite masking and stuff I still got diagnosed so that's good

I have, and lemmie give you the two biggest tips: 1, unmask, even if it's uncomfortable, even if you hate it, do it. 2, the tasks will be childish, ask questions, and respond without learned social queues. It sucks, and it is very possible to slip under the radar with ADOS, so please, just unmask.

idk what ADOS is but I got diagnosed with autism at 12ish or so if that’s any help? what did you want to know
