Just looking for a bit of a hand hold really. DD (13) had her ADOS assessment this morning. The practitioner gave us a bit of feedback:
-managed back and forth conversation for a period of time
-smiled but some facial expressions were inconsistent with feeling
-didn't tell the practitioner when she was finished with 2 tasks
-my daughter says when she was asked to describe different feelings she couldn't answer the question
I've done a lot of research and my layman's view is that I'd be surprised if they didn't diagnose it. The practitioner that did the ADI said there were "definite markers".
I've asked if they can call us after they've had their meeting to let us know just if it's a yes or a no but the guy we saw this morning said we would probably have to wait until the official feedback appointment in 10 days time
The waiting with all of this is so hard but also I kind of don't want the answer either way!
