I've had about 2 hours of diagnosis using DISCO. I was told there are about 800 questions. I think this process could go on for years at this rate.

I just wondered what others experience were of DISCO. Were there games like tests or was it all just questions.

I found it hard that my mother on more than one occasion answered differently to me and they take her word for it over mine as she'll have a better memory of what happened decades ago (allegedly)

Its a very impersonal gruelling experience like an interrogation. Nothing like the psychiatric meetings I've had which are very relaxed. These meetings are exhausting me physically and mentally.

I just wondered how others found it?

When I was 11 I got diagnosed using the DISCO. I've always wondered what the criteria actually consists of, do you remember any of it or have any links to the criteria itself? I've been looking for it for a while but can't find anything.

Apparently its a private-copyrighted test that has very limited distribution. A practioner would pay for "training" and thus have access to this test. I am willing to bet part of the deal is signing a contract saying you will not make the questions available to the public or face a fine.
