Beyond ADOS: How Do You Confidently Diagnose ASD?

I’m seeking advice on reliable, developmentally appropriate assessment to determine if a child is actually on the spectrum. While ADOS is considered the gold standard, it only measures a child at a single point in time and is not progressive. What would be some other important aspects you look at in confidently diagnosing a child with ASD?
