Hello,
I have booked for a referal for an adult autism assessment on the 25th of January this year.
If I do get the referal, I would like to prepare myself.
What happens during an adult autism assessment?
In regards to things I will be asked to do, or things that I will be asked to tell them.
Thank-you,
Jayde.
Everyone on here seems to have a different experience. For some it was a single Zoom call, for others much more.
I had:
This was the same for me. I found the two hour interview the most difficult part, mostly because my mind went blank and I sort of froze as I tend to do in any sort of interview.
They were luckily very understanding and supportive though, gave me plenty of time to think and talk. I was also allowed to write some things down when I couldn't put it in to words.
I was a few minutes late for my interview because of a subway problem, so I was extremely flustered - I get very anxious about not being on time for things. This was probably helpful to be honest because I unmasked.
