Agree
Thank you for your concern about keeping the forum friendly and useful for all; I share that concern.

There was no debate, for I had not taken an opposing view. There was simply request for clarification for statements posted upthread, expression of appreciation when clarification was provided, and agreement. The better resources, as expressed by the article you provided, were subsequently posted to another thread... several minutes prior to ElizabethN's post suggesting I do so.

My posts on this thread seem to be on-topic as:
1) the request for clarification was based on another member's post,
2) the OP is considering ADOS for possible ASD diagnosis; Being aware of the better resources (and reasons why some resources may not be as valuable - or may be more controversial) may become important if an ASD diagnosis is forthcoming.
