Can anyone share the info or know what is asked of parents/family/friends/spouses about you for historical or childhood info etc?
Does that make sense?
My mother came with me to my diagnostic assessment. After my interview, the psychologist spoke to her alone for about 40 minutes. She was asked mainly about my developmental milestones. What I was like as a child, whether my progress was akin to that of my brother's (8 years older than I am), whether I seemed to have any special needs in terms of parental attention, progress at school, making friends, etc. Mum was frank that I was very quiet and shy, obviously bright as a child, struggled around other people, more inclined to isolate throughout childhood, imaginative, and quite demanding. It was very useful input. Combined with my own account, it helped to give a more rounded picture of me.
