My dd had an ADOS assessment last year but failed to comply due to anxiety (she shuts down in front of strangers), I just wondered if anyone knew what is likely to happen next as she wouldn't comply? I have no idea what the process is only that I've been advised to just stick it out. We have been in the system for 2 years now for assessment. I would ask the professionals working with her but we currently are in limbo anyway as paediatrician passed to camhs for assessment (and so they could discharge her) but they aren't assessing her for asd only dealing with anxiety. (I've flagged this with paediatrician). She had SPD dx and camhs have also said social communication difficulties so far based on 3 play sessions and previous history. Both sides mention asd when talking about dd.

Thank you. I was hoping it would count as it such a hard battle to get a dx. We have only seen the paediatrician a few times, one of which was for the ADOS. But since then they have only seen her this month to discharge her as they assumed camhs were going to assess her and do ADOS which they aren't. The nurse we saw is going to look into it and see if they could do anymore but due to not complying they were at a loss. As for camhs they are going to provide some techniques for her anxiety but that's it.

I have mentioned to both I think a DISCO would be better for her. Neither have said they can offer a DISCO and again neither are dealing with it at the min so I'm at a loss.
