    Horrible, they do not understand that the whole ordeal can be very stressful to an autistic. I got a pip phone assessment and that was bad enough and they ask personal questions that are really disgusting he then lied on the assessment paper! to see lies like that put me into meltdown and I suffered as it was dishonest of him. Then a year later I was asked to do ESA, I told my local charity that I cannot cope with the medicals as they are too invasive and scary and that I cry and get stressed with them so they cancelled the appointment not sure what the outcome is yet. they are disgusting way to treat autistic people, they lie and they twist things. It is not morally right.
