ADOS is 1 test in many the battery of tests.. It is not definitive.

Ok … did you put it into ChatGPT? Exactly what did you enter into the prompt? What did the actual medical professionals give as a diagnosis?

The idea that you seem to genuinely believe that a ChatGPT “diagnosis” has value just boggles the mind.

Oh get over yourself. It is just an experiment. I was interested in how my kid, who the school system was always desperate to label as autistic, would fit into the four categories of the Sparks study.

And the answer was, given his test results, was that he really didn't.

And yes I included the autism assessment results as well... where he didn't test as ASD.

My son still has disabilities that are serious enough to affect his daily functioning. But labeling it autism never aided him or moved him forward. It was just a convenient short cut.

What diagnosis did you get from an actual professional? I’m not understanding why you are so hostile to the school using a label that allows your kid to get services.

Severe receptive language disorder with a mild intellectual disorder. But a normal nonverbal IQ. That came from a PhD psychologist specializing in autism who tested him in middle school and then again high school.

All the other earlier testing had shown no autism as well and low receptive language, but no one really understood how to help him. But they had a lot of autism programs so they shoved him in there.

The PhD said he had only encountered one student who tested like our son in his 40 year career.

Because of the early rush to the ASD label, they were trying to fix what wasn't wrong. Everything stemmed from the poor receptive language.

My husband felt a sting in his chest but chatgpt told me for free that it was heartburn from his gross lunch.
Anyway, funeral is in Tuesday.

Autism is passe. There are more fashionable diagnoses now. IYKYK.

I put in all his test results without comment. I didn't leave anything out.

In fact I asked it to match us with one of the Sparks categories.

Uh, did the test results say autism? That's the point of the test.

I am having some enzyme issues. Chatgpt has given me a lot of background information so I can ask more doctor more questions about what's going on. It's a quick way to get a lot of facts. I go to other sources to verify but it paints a quick picture.

There was a news story a couple years ago about how AI was answering questions more effectively than doctors, because all the medical books have been dumped into the system.

AI is simply a tool. How you use it successfully is up to you.

Meh. I just asked ChatGPT a question based on my medications and it was like pulling teeth to get it to cite sources, and then I had to Google to confirm it had not hallucinated them. I get better research results just googling myself.

But educational category of autism is separate from a medical dx of autism. Your dc may not qualify for IEP under language disability but may qualify under autism. Also, the educational category does not dictate services. Seems like you believe you have a smoking gun against the school district but it’s not clear that you do.

And Google has a built in AI anyway.

A "smoking gun" that the kid might be getting helpful supports he might not be legally entitled to! Great detective work, OP!

This surprises me. All you have to say in the prompt is “provide citations.” You can also specify the citations come from medical journals, for example.

I don’t know, whatever I was asking (which I thought was direct) it claimed it couldn’t do so until I repeated myself. But then I had to double check to make sure the articles were real and that they said what GPT claimed they said. Googling from the start would have taken less time.
