Help with question on assesment form about family? Not sure what its asking

I took it to be looking for some background on what your family members are like, as in their personalities, jobs and interests. One of my grandfathers was an engineer and inventor and was rather eccentric, my dad was a rather introverted and private person, but my mum was outgoing and was very active in the community. Things along those lines.

Thanks. Do you think you can also mention that you think they have traits? Also my 3 year old sons teacher says they think he's autistic. Or just focus more on just the type of things you mentioned.

My daughter was being assessed for ASD the day after my assessment, mentioning things like that is useful.

The subsequent question is about how you get along with your family, then the next is what contact you have with them.

I think it is a number of things.

They are after your relationships, e.g. if you rarely saw your grandparents, or are estranged from your sister, lived a long way from relatives, if they struggled with employment, what types of jobs they do, had problematic relationships, mental health issues, if they are diagnosed, anxious, reclusive or are ill a lot, etc.

I would mention your son.

It is not a lot of info, just a few lines. Anything that jumps out as relevant.

Since ASD has a large hereditary component, struggles for other family members may indicate it. Likewise if your background was very traumatic it may reduce the likelihood of ASD, as trauma can mimic some symptoms, so they then need to be careful to investigate.

Lots of health issues, stress, problematic job history, cold relationships, can indicate trends in undiagnosed relatives.
