What is this second assessment for?

stranger

I had my first assessment on Thursday and it was awful. 

The psychiatrist wants to see me again and has asked that I bring a parent with me. Now, I understand why he wants me to do this; but what is this second assessment about? Is it just gathering more information (I remember very little of my childhood due to a head injury) or would he try to diagnose me then?

  • Does your older brother have autism or aspergers? And was he diagnosed before or after you?

    I was diagnosed with Aspergers, but I am interested in the distinction between autism and AS. I know a guy who has Aspergers - he was diagnosed late - but he did not learn to speak until he was over two years old. However, he is very high-functioning.
