ADOS tomorrow - will they tell us what they think then and there?

DS3 finally has his ADOS tomorrow and I am wondering whether we'll get told their opinions at the end of the assessment or will have to wait? I don't think I'll be able to bare it if they don't give any indications.

Test wasn't too bad - they used Module 2. I did find there was lots in the test that tested his imagination, and it was these areas where he showed most difficulty I think (mind you, I was having to stretch my imagination when DS was sat at an empty table and told "here's a sink and here is the hot tap and cold tap. Shall we wash our hands?" Would an NT child really have gone along with that??). Anyway, they say they have to score it, but that they are pretty sure he will score highly enough to get a diagnosis. I was surprised that at 3.5 he still couldn't follow a point.

They are scheduling a feedback meeting for sometime in the next few weeks when they will elaborate on his results. I am dreading this as about 5 or 6 "professionals" will be there and will be told the outcome of the test at the same time as us.
