Dr Kristelle Hudry explains the ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule). The ADOS is a standardised, semi-structured observational assessment of features relevant to the diagnosis of ASDs. Alongside the Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R), ADOS-2 is considered the gold-standard tool for diagnostic assessment, and can be used with individuals right across the lifespan and at all levels of ability through selection of the appropriate module.
