When going for a diagnosis did you guys bring anything? Like notes on daily life just to kinda make the assessment easier? If so could you share some of the things you noted?

Yes - huge list in a notebook.
I found it useful to place events in my past experience and past present traits under the headings used in the diagnostic manuals:
1) Persistent difficulties with social communication and social interaction,
2) Restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviours, activities or interests (includes sensory behaviours).
I ended up with six A4 pages of notes, quite autistic thoroughness!
