Autism video assessment with parent (through Camhs) -what to expect

We are booked for a video assessment with parent (not child) as part of an autism assessment for our DS. They advised it can last for up to two hours. What should I expect this to cover? It will probably only be one parent (me) as our younger one needs constant supervision while home schooling and this isn't the type of conversation we want to be having in from of either of our DC, I suspect. Do I need to have entire medical history to hand and lots of anecdotes on behaviour etc? Or are they looking to assess me/parenting style? Two hours seem like a long time! The haven't assessed DS yet. That apparently happens later after lockdown with a face to face appointment although I suspect this appointment may be a filter appointment to decide whether the proceed with the next stage?
