[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739183, member: 1550"] The neuropsychologist will do the ADOS as well as testing for all disorders. They are very comprehensive. There is no way to 100 percent diagnose anyone for anything in psychiatry and often in neurology as there are often no divinitive tests to prove an opinion and the DSM is ever changing. I have been in the mentalhealth system since age 23 and I am 64. There have been many changes and will be many more until there are physical tests such as diabetes has. I do tend to be leery of diagnosticians since there is no way to prove any diagnosis. Since antisocial disorder is so scary, I think it may be easier to spot that. Autism can be tricky. At any rate, if he is dangerous, he shouldnt be at home. The danger in my opinion is the bottom line. You must be safe. [/QUOTE]
