DD (5) is being assessed this morning for Aspergers by S & L at school this morning, I am meeting them first, not sure what to expect...?

[josben]

Can anyone advise me - DD has had 3 Paed appts so far and so this meeting will help towards her dx. Just wondered if anyone could knew what sort of things they will do...? TIA

This was what ours did with DS (age 6 with AS)

ADOS MODULE 3: for verbally fluent children
Construction task
Make-believe play
Joint interactive play
Demonstration task
Description of a picture
Telling a story from a book
Cartoons
Reporting a non-routine event/conversation
Emotions
Social difficulties/annoyance
Break
Friends/loneliness/marriage
Creating a story

When she spoke to me she asked very similar questions to what the paed had already asked me but more from a social/ emotional pov.

He had fun. She didn't force him to do anything. Everything was very gentle and gave us the result that we were lookign for.

Hope all goes well x

Thanks for that Ben 10 thats v helpful.

Did you stay for the observation of your DS? I got the impression that i would only be there for an hour meeting with S&L before the obs...?
