Hi @sarablackmore, it's often good if your son is there for the assessment, but as his appointee, you can answer questions on his behalf or help clarify things that he has said himself.

Hope it goes smoothly ☺️

Thank you that puts my mind at rest a little as i know he wont talk part of his autism is social anxiety so they would get nothing out of him x
