I didn't take *ANY* tests related to autism during my assessment. The assessor didn't get a structured history, didn't talk to any relatives who saw me as a child, and the person who wrote up the report and diagnosed me as autistic never saw me before presenting the report. His assistant was the one who gave me all the tests.
He isn't known as someone who has experience in diagnosing autism or ADHD in children or adults, just as someone who diagnoses people as being able to work or not.
That's very suspicious. I would definitely challenge this. I will be meeting with my evaluator to "challenge" (discuss) my concerns now that I have reviewed my written report.
