I had an ADOS test the friday just gone. Module 4 for adult's which is used to express if I have autism or not. I did no research before I went in because I wanted to act as normal as possible, well for me anyway. At the end of it they gave me a verbal 'yes you have ASD' and I scored 21 out of a maximum of 22. I was in denial. To get a score like that it must have been blatantly obvious to them..surely. I was asked to read from a book describing what was happening, pretend to brush my teeth, construct a puzzle out of foam pieces, stare at a wheres wally style picture and describe what the people in it were doing, oh and she questioned if I had been on a holiday. She also whipped out a set of ten cards which told a sequential story. She went through the story with me, hid the cards then asked me to recite it. I was also asked to make up a story using a number of objects which I struggled to do. Just wondered if anyone could possibly shed some light on what they were about and how they would have been assessed. Thanks.
