[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a therapist and I worked with an older teen client who had also had a lot of expensive testing (but no ADOS). After some time I suspected that he had HFA but the signs were subtle and it took me several months of seeing him before I felt I had enough information to talk to the parents. When they investigated further and did some additional tests, he was diagnosed. They had also always suspected it so I don't know why the very prestigious place that did the testing didn't at least do an ADOS to rule it out. When I talked to the testing psych, she said she met with him for a morning and based on eye contact didn't feel like he needed an ADOS. Huh? Follow your gut OP and find someone to do some additional testing.[/quote] Well, ADOS does not rule out or rule in autism on its own. You need a fuller clinical picture. [/quote]
