Not sure how old your child is but have recently gone through this for 10yo DD
The ASOS took approx 45 mins (we had it in person not online) and I was not present, I didn't even see the psychologist. DD was fine when she came out but she found it quite intense so was exhausted. It consisted of a story telling task and general conversation. Having read the subsequent report , the practitioner was obviously looking at things such as conversation and tone, ability to have reciprocal conversation, inference, ability to read or guess emotions etc as well as body language such as hand gestures, fiddling/picking, eye contact of course. I hope all goes well for you, there's nothing to worry about but if possible I would definitely try and have a chilled rest of day afterwards. I didn't take DD back to school.
I can't remember what the Disco - is that the one for the parents? I did so many forms!
