ados module 4 test. Do I have autism?

[Nomen Dubium]

I realise this will make me sound uninformed, but what is an ados test?

(I haven't been tested for or diagnosed with anything on the autistic spectrum, but I do have Klinefelter's so I probably live next door to you all).

Hi, there! An NT is a neurotypical (a non-autistic person or a person that is not neurodivergent). As for the imagination, autistic people can have vivid imaginations. I have an extremely vivid imagination. I can conjure up imaginary scenes like a movie in my head.

I recently took the ADOS-2 for research purposes. I would agree that you should not try to prepare for this test. It is possible preparation will skew your results. I also agree, just try to relax and be yourself (but I know it can be hard).

The test has a lot of modules and any single piece is not going to make a huge difference. Further, the ADOS-2 itself is just part of a full assessment.

The psychologist will probably learn a lot more through their interview / discussion with you than the test, anyway.
