Yes, I did at the beginning of this year, at a state agency for developmental disabilities, with an outside psychologist they contracted with.

Neither. The doctor who gave me the ADOS said I wasn't autistic and that I seemed like a schizoid, partially because I did well with the children's book with no words and the part where you have to make up a story with the random objects, because schizoids supposedly have very rich fantasy lives.

So I got assessed at a graduate school of clinical psychology (get the results in a week), and I have an appointment with a specialist in January. If both of them say no autism, then I'll believe it, but I don't trust the ADOS. It seems like a smart autistic person could easily fail the test.

I don't remember, but it wasn't high enough for autism.

When you take the ADOS do they give you an iq test
