We use an assessment instrument to test for Autism. If she is having an appoinment with KKH, its most likely to be the ADOS, GARS or some other instrument. Usually the parents will be interviewed as well as a developemental history is necessary for diagnosis. Also some times if the child is of school age, an intelligence test will also be conducted to determine school placement. All of the above- best to consult with a trained psychologist. KKH Dept of CHild Department has some good psychologist your frend can consult. They need to see the ped doc for a developmental assessment as part of the diagnosis as well.
General charateristics of Autism (you must remember that not all children with Autism will exhibit similar or same signs) include avoiding eye contact, reduced social interaction than when compared to same aged peers, child will echo what they have heard previously some time back or simply repeat the question/comment when spoken to. Children with Autism tend to talk alot lesser than their peers. Autism is a spectrum and thus the degree of signs and symptoms varies from child to child. |
