A number of my friends have used the same company for a private ASD diagnosis.
I have read all of their reports, three in total. Imo the company have made the same mistake on all three but Im checking in case its changed.
I thought that the scores from the Communication section & Interaction section were added and then there is a cut off for ASD and a cut off for Autism slightly higher.
I thought that unusual behaviour and stereotyped and repetitive behaviour is scored but then, this isnt actually added to the score.
For example one states, 1 from communication 4 from Interaction and. 4 from stereotyped behaviour total score of 9 which is over the Cut off for ASD.
I understand the that ADOS is used alongside other tools and if it said that it would be fine, but it specifically says that they have met the threshold.
Im hoping Im wrong but ive searched online and everything seems to say Im right. The reason Im concerned is that these parents have spent a lot of money and are recommending this company to other parents.
