Hello All, so I just got back my assessment 2 days ago. I was told I am on the spectrum. I kinda figured I would be. "Communication and Social Interaction domains were indicative of ASD with a total domain cutoff score of 15." Is above 10 considered Autism on the ADOS 2 module 4? I really hated the assessment process. It was really frustrating, and I didn't really care for the psychologist performing the test. Anyway I hope to learn more about my condition and better ways of dealing with it.

welcome! this is a great place to get insights and explanations, the combined experiences of lifetimes living with ASD offers a great resource for those of us "new to the game". I was diagnosed very late in life and found it a huge relief to finally have an answer to so many of the painful "whys" of the past. Best of all I learned there are others out there who actually understand! Glad you are with us.

Hi! I was just diagnosed a few months ago. Although the testing was stressful, getting the results were a relief. I had always thought I was dumb. It turned out that I am quite intelligent, I'm just Autistic! Thank heavens!
