Ados module 3 feedback

[Kiy1]

Hello,

my child (7) had his Ados appointment today. He interacted much better than I thought he would once I left the room. He answered question with some details, was smiley and very happy. He was often focused on smaller details in pictures, with some interest in the whole scene. He never asked the assessor any questions but answered well and gave some information unprompted. He also showed what I believe to be very basic knowledge of emotions. His imagination seemed to be poor when asked to create a story with random objects.
The session ended with 30mins and I was hoping to get some feedback on the session report at the end but this was not the case. The report written was ‘Ados assessment taken- no concerns’. (Or something similar)
The assessor did say he done so well, which he did, yet it has left me feeling like they seen no concerns or any sign of Asd.
anyone else had this?
(This was an online assessment)

Have you been told when you will be given official feedback?

we had to wait 5 weeks for it to go to panel as other information was taken into account, they didn’t look at ADOS as well. My daughter did well on some of it and was smiley and interacted at times but drew a blank when asked to talk about friendships and emotions. From listening in, I felt it was obvious where she had issues. We didn’t get any feedback at the time as I was told it wouldn’t be fair until all the information had been discussed. I also did a detailed developmental history apt. She received a diagnosis.

Thanks for the reply. We are still waiting for school to respond, (mid sept due to holidays) then it will go to panel. So will be late sept. I have the development interview next week. It was just the no concern that throw me. I wasn’t sure if it meant immediate or that no concerns at all in behaviour. My child has been assessed by various professionals since 2/12 y and I find it very frustrating when I don’t know what they are thinking.
Did your child get a diagnosis?
My child could answer that he had 1 or 2 friends and that he knew they were his friends because he asked them. Also, when asked why someone wasn’t his friend he said “I don’t know, because they don’t like me”. This I think shows awareness of what others are thinking.

Sorry, Just seen the last line on your message.
