[quote=Anonymous]I'll cut to the chase with thanks for any feedback:  DD has met twice with a very reputable psychiatrist, who gave us three instruments to complete (SCARED for both parent and child); the Connor (for screening ADHD); and another form that DH and I completed, one which could be 'scored' in the office.  I do not recall the name of that instrument, and that's part of my question.

While the Connor and the SCARED tests revealed/confirmed what we suspected (ADHD, anxiety, some depression), we were a bit surprised by the results of the test screening for Asperger's, autism, etc.,.  The score was a '9', which apparently is right on the cusp.  The doctor indicated he had predicted DD might be in a more 'gray' zone in terms of being on the spectrum, and a '9' confirms this.

DH and I are still processing all of the information, but in the immediate moment, I would feel better informed if I knew the name of the instrument.  It's double sided and has carbon paper in the middle so that the evaluator can quickly tally results.  Does anyone know what the name might be?

I can of course call the doctor, but I'd like to have any information I can get ASAP.

TIA.  I will post separately asking for advice, support, etc.,.  We are no longer in the Washington area, but I continue to find a lot of compassion and care (and information) from this listserv, which I appreciate.[/quote]
