First assessment - telling a story with 5 objects

OutwardBoundBob

Hi,

I’ve recently had my first autism assessment (online) and towards the end of it I was asked to tell a story with 5 objects I’d chosen. I chose the first 5 things that happened to be on the sofa next to me. I was asked to tell a story with them & I just couldn’t. I told the assessor this & she said it was ok. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    Hi Rach! I also had the narrating of a picture book. It was some frogs on what I initially thought were levitating lily pads, they were in fact (?) flying (?). As you I described each picture in quite a literal way, each page was ‘and the frogs are flying’. I feel frustrated and a failure!

  • Hi Bobontour, I had a similar experience with the assessment task of narrating a picture book story. I described each picture in quite a literal way, saying what I saw and having trouble weaving the pictures together into a story on the spot, and didn't understand at the end that the characters were 'going home'.
