Finally booked appointment to see GP about getting assessed for autism. Any tips or advice?

Hi 

I finally plucked up the courage to ask my doctors surgery for an appointment to refer me for an assessment. They put it down as routine appointment. It is in a month's time. 

The thing is I don't know what to say to my GP or questions they will ask me. I welcome any advice at this stage. 

Thanks

    I would say just be honest, don't try and hide your autistic traits. I was brutally honest and said what the impacts are on my life, my restrictive diet, relationship issues etc. However don't hold your breath waiting for an assment as it is likely to be years.
