DS2 had an ADOS today. The first doctor was a consultant he had seen before that said that regardless of the score on the day she would diagnose ASD. Clearly 'failed' tests with her. She spent about 15 mins trying to join in and then initiate an imaginative game. He did not get it. He was polite but said 'I don't know what to say' when she tried character interaction.
Then another dr took over and DS2 performed much better.
Outcome was indicated to be not scoring high enough for ASD diagnosis but social communication difficulties.
In car on way home ds2 said that he couldn't understand 2nd doctor because she had an accent. He told her what she wanted to hear to stop her talking further
What would you do next (and is it worth it)?
atm I feel like there is rock bottom, fifty feet of crap, and then me (courtesy of Friends - but I have good reason whereas they were just a bunch of whingers)
