Does your diagnosis include your ADOS scores?

Post Reply New Topic

There's another thread in which someone is asking what people's ADOS scores are. In my case, my diagnosis doesn't tell me my ADOS score; it only says that I have level 1 ASD and that the ADOS was used during my assessment.

I'm wondering whether this is related to the country in which one is assessed. Does your diagnosis tell you what your ADOS scores were? In what country were you assessed?

I got my diagnosis via the 40 point assessment and an interview with an autism specialist who even took note of my mannerism, tone of voice etc. Of the 40 points I scored a 37. Meanwhile with current medication I only score 34 which is two points above the threshold for an autism diagnosis.

Interesting. My diagnosis doesn't give a score for anything that was used in my diagnosis. It lists out 8 different assessments that were done in full or in part, but doesn't give an actual score for any of them, other than the overall assessment of ASD level 1.

I wasn’t given my ADOS score. I took the ADOS-2 Module 4. The only detail the psychologist noted was that my most atypical (high) score was in the Social Interaction Total. I should read up on that...

I was diagnosed with ASD.

No, I was given a retrograde CARS score instead. Mine was 33, which is in the moderate range, and corresponds to level 2 autism.

Well I am in Europe and most don't use ADOS-2 in Europe because Europe uses the ICD-10 and not the DSM-V

Nope and I don't think I really did the tests either for the diagnoses. My mom and the doctor only talked about me and we had many sessions with him.

Mine includes scores and a description of what they mean. My communication and RSI total was 17, with an additional 5 for the other two categories. This was for the adult module.
