Autistic volunteers (with a diagnosis), aged 18+, needed to take part in ADOS training for diagnostic practitioners!.Waiting times for diagnosis are unacceptably long. The ADOS is not perfect, but it is a powerful diagnostic tool.

If you want to be on the register to be invited to future ADOS courses, please sign up by emailing salvesenresearch@ed.ac.uk to indicate interest. Tagging a few folk - please consider sharing. Thanks!.@AMASEdin @ARGHighland @scottishautism @NAITScotland @PWCentre @PasdaOfficial.

Our training includes a chance for every trainee (normally very experienced clinicians) to practise administering part of an ADOS with an autistic volunteer. Courses take place in Edinburgh or online. Volunteers are reimbursed £50 for their time & we cover local travel costs too.
