Maybe send them an ASD checklist/list of signs and see what resonates. My family wouldn't have known what to say without some kind of list because prior to they thought the things were just my personal quirks/weirdness. Anything they can say about social/relationship things, sensory oddities, intense interests/insistence on sameness would be helpful. Good luck Firemonkey!
This.
Or just ask them to ...let loose with the most unflattering stuff they can remember about you (you from childhood to present). The weirder the better!
