[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 423710, member: 7948"] What this should mean is that he meets criteria for at least Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and really I would expect the examiner to say he meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The higher the score the more autistic characteristics were observed. The cut offs are the lowest score needed to meet the cut off. However, the instructions say to use the lowest score to determine Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) vs Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). BUT when there are very mixed scores it is up to the examiner to make the final determination = judgement call. Language he scored between the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) cut offs with a score of 2. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) would have required a score of 3 or more. Social Interaction he scored Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with a score greater than 6. His total score of 11 is 2 points higher than the 9 point cutoff for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It's my impression that the ADOS is the more significant test of the two. Did you get a narrative to go with the results or have you asked the examiner about the results? Patricia [/QUOTE]
