[QUOTE="Janna, post: 239627, member: 2737"] Oh, let ME tell you about ADOS. ADOS is good for your child if they are a low functioning Autistic. What I mean by that is, if your child makes no eye contact, hand flaps, tippy toe walks, echolai, things of that nature. ADOS is a psychological test, typically given by a school district, to try to determine if a child is Autistic. Having said that, if you have a high functioning child on the spectrum that makes eye contact, has ok motor skills and is verbal, ADOS is worthless. I can tell you this from experience. I would NOT rely on that testing as any definitive measure of diagnosis. I would see a NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST for Autism testing. Sorry I didn't have anything positive. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
