Does any one have experience interpreting these scores?
On the CARS, my son got a score in the "minimal symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)"
The ADOS is completely confusing.
He got 2 on the Language & Communication (which I disagree with but ok) and under it says (Autism = 3+, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) = 2)
Social Interaction he got 9 , underneath it says (Autism = 6+, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) = 4)
Total score of 11, with an (Autism Cut off = 10, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) = 7) below.
I can't figure out if that means he scored too high to qualify or if the observer is telling me that she doesn't think he qualifies even with scores that say otherwise? I'm sure this is just as confusing to you guys, sorry, I was just wondering if anyone else had experience. I'm meeting with the advocate again on Monday and the ARD is on Thursday so I'm trying to make sure I know exactly what I'm looking at before I go in.
