If they are well trained, I think so? Some things they are meant to look out for are things that you might not have known about to mask. The ADOS especially is meant to be a super weird context that you can’t be prepared for. I don’t exactly know, bc my assessor told me I don’t really mask, but some things like directing facial expressions at someone and not matching word choice of the assessor were not things I had ever thought of.
