Adult asd assessment

Hello, I have to go for second part of my assessment tomorrow for asd.

Already been for interview assessment that lasted 3 hours.

Now have to go for a task based interview that i am told will last 1 hour.

Can anyone give any info on what i can expect this to include please? i have heard it means telling a story about objects and describing pictures amongst other things.

I am 55 male

thank you all

    Hi, welcome to the forum,

    I can't give you any pointers about exactly what would happen and even if I could I expect that you would find that it would be different to what you expected. The key thing is just to go in and try not to guess what they want you to do but just do it naturally according to the instructions and your interpretation of those instructions. They are not trying to trick you or see if you can put on a show, they just want to see what you do in some different situations when they ask you to do things. Try and relax and do try to follow the instructions and do ask for clarification if they haven't made themselves clear. You will likely show your traits without being aware of it and they will see that.

    I was diagnosed at 56 and am also male so you aren't alone in this situation.
