[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 267499, member: 1169"] My son was just diagnosis with Autism. The main tests they did were the Autism Diagnosis Interview, the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale and the Gilliam Aspergers Diagnostic Scale. They also tested his expressive and receptive language skills, the Connor's Rating Scale, and an abbreviated IQ test. All of the rating scales are pretty straight forward - based on the score, he will be rated as "not likely" "possibly" "probably" or "highly probable" to have Autism. The Autism Diagnostic Interview requires someone trained on how to administer it to you and your child -- unlikely that the school has someone trained on this test. I'd suggest you ask the school to do an abbreviated IQ test just to get the general idea of IQ-level. A long, complex test will likely frustrate him and therefore not be very accurate anyway. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
