Am worried about my autism assessment because of the assesor.

[PinkyCow]

I went through an assessment with my eldest son through the NHS right to choose. I did a separate parent assessment and then he had an online video assessment and then an in person assessment. I had suspected I was autistic for a long time and after his positive diagnosis I applied for assessment with the same Right to choose company.

I couldn't have the parent assessment as I am NC with my parents.

The in person ADOS assessment was fine.

But its the online one thats just made me feel really nervous about things.
Same company but my son had a really lovely lady who went through everything very thoroughly with him. Asked questions and got him to expand on things etc.

Mine was with a man with a very thick accent and I was struggling to understand him a lot of the time, especially because it was video call, not in person and I often lip read (no hearing issues I just find it easier to hearnifni can see people faces clearly!)

But he did his assessment just like a checklist. With yes or no answers. I didnt feel I got to expand in what makes me feel like I'm autistic in the way DS was allowed to.
I had so many things I expected ro discuss and just didn't.

Just bumping to see if anyone else has felt this way about an assessment

I felt that way but about my ADHD assessment. The assessor had her camera facing a different way to her keyboard so looked away every time she typed anything. She also had a “background filter” on the call which kept showing flickers of her chair back and the window frame behind, which made it really hard to focus on what was being said.
The whole thing felt very tick boxy, and she got really hung up on my lack of childhood evidence. Why don’t I have detailed records of my social development from my primary school? Perhaps because it was the 1980s and in a deprived community. If you kept your head down and weren’t actively violent nobody recorded anything about you.
My assessment report has high scores for current difficulties but zero for childhood, not because I didn’t struggle but because there’s no hard evidence and not even my family can remember anything about my childhood (good or bad).
She kept disrespecting my boundaries too. I told her that calling my mobile from a withheld number stresses me out, and asked her to please text or email me so I know to expect a call. She has called several times since without warning.
Now I’m stuck with an inconclusive non-diagnosis and no help.

Oh no thats terrible :( mine was a combined Adhd and autism and he diagnosed me with ADHD on the spot but said Autism takes 4-6 weeks.
