Autism assessment

NAS76963

I’m going through an autism assessment i’ve done the first part and they’ve said I qualify for the second I don’t get what that means? 

They sent me a list of stuff i need a piece of paper a pencil a coat hanger a cloth and string. I looked up why i need these and it says i have to make story out of them. I’m worrying about it so much I can’t make stories up I can’t read stories properly like doing voices for stuff that’s not even real like a talking dog dogs don’t talk and they don’t live in castles. 

I have no parents or family so i have no one to do that part of the assessment for me. 

Should i just cancel the next bit of the assessment? I’ve tried to think of a story with these things in front of me but I can’t these things don’t do anything we use them. All i think of is i use the pencil to draw on the paper and i use the coat hanger for clothes but that’s not a story. 

Then I saw you get a picture book and tell the story i can’t do this either I can’t do it with my daughter when she brought her reading book home her teacher called me in to school and told me that she expected me to read with her when i said there’s nothing to read there’s no words she told me it’s quite simple use your imagination and make a story up it’s not hard… but it is 
I don’t know what to do.

    and? ..... why not tell them that? ... be yourself... be honest and truthful, tell them what you told us, tell them its stupid and you cant make a story out of them, perhaps that is the logical answer they seek? perhaps a inability to make a stupid forced story is what they are looking for? there is no right or wrong answer, there is only your own mind and what it comes up with or what it doesnt, or whether it can or cant or whether you look on it as daft or not... it isnt a test of right or wrong, it is just a assessment to see what your mind is like, there is no right or wrong, there is just you...

    me personally, i would refuse to bring in those items because id feel stupid bringing those items in and just tell them to imagine we have them for the purpose of it as the items being there matters not to a telling of a story anyway. id feel daft bringing random junk items out somewhere with me.

    Yeah it seems very unnecessary. I had a similar thing in my assessment but I just had pictures of the items.
