| I know it's easy said than done but try not to worry. There will be a butch of questions, some tests and observational stuff - Basically they'll just try to build a picture of your life to see if the problems you face could be explained by Autism or not. Ados is pretty standard procedure. |

| At this point they haven't ruled anything in nor have they ruled anything out. I think it would be safe to say that there's something in how you answered the questionnaires that could, possibly, be explained by Autism and as such warrents further investigation. |

I don't think that is malicious or an attempt to deliberately deceive etc. I suppose it depends on where you go and whome you see but the assessment tends to be pretty thorough and should ... |
