How reliable is the ASDI for a diagnosis

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering how widely used/accepted the ASDI (Aspergers Syndrome Diagnostic Interview) is for use in diagnosing Aspergers?

Try searching for it in Google Scholar, and see what studies come up.

im pretty sure i have one and i say, it depends on what doctor is interviewing you. so yes if the doctor knows what to look for.

Thanks. I've very recently been diagnosed by a clinical psychologist using this method and though I don't doubt their experience, I've just read so many accounts of people being dx'd using a whole battery of tests that I was curious if anyone else had been diagnosed using the ASDI method.

Is that this?

Almost every psychologist has a web page where they list their academic credentials, awards, publications, and any professional certifications. They may even list whether ASD diagnosis and counseling is an area of their practice. It's a good place to start to see whether a psychologist is competent to make an ASD diagnosis.

Thanks for that. Interesting to see the format
