Adult autism assessment - help?

4 replies

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me so my mum had an autism assessment which is over 2 days - one is a three hour phone call and another is a 90 minute zoom call and I was just wondering what sort of things we can expect?

Just so I can explain it to her and give her an idea of what will happen, she's really nervous and has limited understanding and she asks me about it everyday but I don't have anything to tell her and google isn't giving me much.

Thanks in advance

The first will likely be a full neurodevelopmental history- so finding out as much as possible about her life and experiences. The second I would imagine would be an ADOs (though might not be as it's. It face to face. If you want certainty I'd contact the clinic.

Sorry the ADOS is usually face to face

Thank you that's great, I only needed basic as she has a limited understanding anyway the zoom call is face to face remotely so it might, I'm not sure but thank you for the response
