  1. Thank you Mihaela its nice to know what to expect! I suppose Malakai's eye contact really isnt the best but usually he is very quick to find something and focus on that so I think thats normal? He hates loud noises and is a very picky eater but other than that I dont think anything stands out. He isnt much of a story creator though so Im not sure how that will go! I feel like now that someone has said it I am constantly watching him and everything he does to look for signs I haven’t seen before. I guess my biggest concern is the fact that my cousin has a child who is Malakai's age and if my boy had long hair they would look identical and she has been diagnosed with autism, I know that looking similar makes no difference but it is what is stuck in my head! I work in mental health and see a few learning disabilities and i know it isnt nessercarily a bad thing, Im just getting myself worked up now for no reason! haha It will be fine either way.
  2. Hi there, I wondered if anyone has experience of an ADOS assessment, I have been advised by the school to seek one for my 6 year old boy. I really have no idea what to expect - I'm not sure I understand even what signs I should be looking out for in my child, feeling rather confused about the whole thing to be honest. My son is seeing a speech therapist as he is having difficulties with some sounds B's and P's in particular. He seems quite young for his age compared to my older two boys, he will interact little with other children he seems to want to make friends but is just too involved in his own thing(?) he loves computer games, will scream the house down if I take his DS off of him ... he is a nice boy, loves kisses and cuddles. The school think he has difficulties following multi step instructions. GP appointment made for middle of April to discuss the next step for a ADOS assessment. He really doesn’t seem very different to his older brothers at that age.
