  • Hello, I was in the same situation- I am in my 40s and both my parents died several years ago. I explained this and filled the form in (and added five pages of my own notes) explaining this. I didn’t have anyone with me during my assessment interviews and neither of these things were a problem. I got my diagnosis regardless. I think a lot of adults will be in the same position and I’d imagine the diagnosticians will account for that. Good luck!
