Hi, I see on here a lot that CAMHS are useless for ASD dx - does this vary from area to area? My boy's been with CAMHS since aged 4 and was dx ADHD through them and then last month the psych we saw there (new, covering normal psych's maternity leave) said she is convinced he's also autistic and has started a bigh questionnaire with me (takes 4 or 5 hours) and then is arranging an ADOS test. Should this not be through CAMHS? Confused now.
Also, what is an ADOS test? What happens? Have googled, but can't find any real details of what the child actually has to do.
Grateful for any responses - all v new to me.
Thanks
