| Are you trying to socialize with people who are reasonable? By this I mean, people who can think and understand, and even have compassion? I understand the frustration of all this. Many people that I am in contact with see me as very capable. If they could see the hard work behind my "social front" ... |

| I will find out the extent of my diagnosis, probably including one or more other issues other than ASD on March 13, 2013. I really don't know what they'll say. I have been to a renowned Autism clinic and sent to another psychologist at a well-thought-of School of Medicine. In other words, I will acc... |

| Yes, the subject needs to be unprepared. I tried another thread / discussion but the single respondent does not understand my question, even after repeated attempts to clarify. I took the test 3 weeks ago and found something odd, and wanted to see what others might know about the particular way I re... |

More plainly stated:
How did you answer these two tasks, and are you, or are you not, described as Autistic in some way? |

| I'll reframe my question: Can anyone explain the significance behind my descriptive analysis of the first task and any significance in the fact that I was able to actually create a story in the second task? What would it mean if these responses to the tasks were reversed instead? I'm assuming a numb... |

| I noticed in the other threads about the ADOS that no one really talks about the results much, or how the test actually works. Also, there is effectivly nothing online to read either. It looks like there is some sort of blackout of information. Has someone told patients not to discuss the test? Just... |

I think it tells them something specific. It's not a better / worse sort of thing. A person relates to it and they get insight about how a person's brain works. No one fails! Yay! I've failed a lot of things though.
I wondered what they were actually trying to gauge in a person's thinking. |

| So, I took the adult version of the ADOS two weeks ago and wondered is there is significance in how I thought during two parts of it. I was given a picture book and needed to "tell the story," which I could not do. I was able to describe details of the pictures and point out inconsistencies and othe... |

| I am working on a "tribute" band project. The joke is, the band never actually existed, except as a joke within a band I played with in 1993. It's psychedelic-doom-metal. Like Kyuss, kinda. THE ALIEN MASTERS OF DOOM And, yes, we play originals that were one-off jams back then and some Black Sabbath ... |

| When I was about 18 my boss told me that I never looked at him when we spoke. He said, "no one will ever trust you if you don't look them in the eye." So, I started working on it. I had another supervisor tell me the same at 29. I have really worked on it. I'm 42 now. It is still very hard to look a... |
