Are you feeling anxious or confused about autism assessments for your child? In this episode, I break down the two main types of assessments: ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) and BOSA (Brief Observation of Symptoms of Autism). Whether you're worried about how stressful the process will be, what to expect during the assessment, or how to prepare your child, I’m here to make things clear. I’ll share my personal experience of going through both tests with my children, Bella and Zara, and explain everything you need to know so you can feel more confident and informed. By the end of this episode, you'll understand what happens during these assessments, how they differ, and how to approach them without feeling overwhelmed.
If you’ve been struggling with the uncertainty of autism testing, this episode is for you!
