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

    I don't think it was exactly the same but the consultant subjected me to some situations and observed my reactions and behaviours. They are looking for your instinctive behaviours which are, by definition, sub-conscious so it is best just to let yourself be yourself and react instinctively. They want you to react without over thinking or double thinking (trying to do what you think they expect).

    Diagnosis often comes in the midst of stressful times so I know that it is hard to relax but actually that is better than worrying about the test and getting worked up about it.

    I'm crossing my fingers for you and really hope it all goes well today.
