Hi, I’ve been referred for an adult autism assessment. In most of the literature I’ve read it says about the assessors wanting/liking for you to have someone with you, who knows you to give some background information. I don’t have anyone who can provide this. Is this likely to be a problem? Many thanks.
Hi. I'm also waiting for my assessment, but I've heard that you can share your own childhood experiences if you don't have anyone to take with you, and your childhood memories/experiences are still valid.
Do you have any old school reports? I wonder if those might be useful (e.g. if there are comments in your reports that could indicate autistic traits).
Thanks for the reply and good advice. Unfortunately I didn’t think school reports were of any use, never a fan of school! I might, with the advice of the people on this forum, try and jot some relevant information down. I like to be prepared!
I've never heard of people using them before, so I wouldn't worry (it was just a random idea)
I'm sure jotting it down will help in terms of remembering things.
