What happens in an adult autism assessment

Hi am waiting for my assessment and am very nervous. Can anyone tell me the sort of things they were asked so I know what to expect. I am doing it via the NHS, thank you so much :)

    The first interview was for an hour  - it was general questions about your day to day life , explaining different emotions - fear , sadness , happiness . There were two exercises too where you had to gather 5 objects and create a story using them ( Which I couldn't ) the second exercise was being shown pictures from a children's book with no text and explain what you feel is happening in each image ( Which I couldn't ) 

    The second interview was 3 hours. This was about me as a child. I was asked if I played Mummies and Daddies, Did I play with toys , would I share a packet of biscuits . 

    That was all I was asked in that Interview I was diagnosed with ASD . The First Interview was with a Psychologist and the second was with a Psychiatrist.
