    That's great. Best of luck with it all, they are extremely nice people because they are experts in how to speak to and treat autistic people. mine was absolutely lovely I warmed to her immediately, and it usually takes me weeks to months to start talking to anyone and most it never happens as I'm a good judge of character. (these days, never used to be)

    When I first met my best friend I ignored him for months, mum explained my problems to him as an acquittance and he made a big effort with me eventually about 4 months I spoke to him and now he's one of the very very limited people who I can hold a normal conversation with not just nod and smile.

    when I met my ex (the lovely one) our first 6 dates and first two days out we communicated by Facebook messenger even though we were together lol

    Yeah unfortunately in my case it's a bit more advanced and tricky, It's hard to explain but only about 1 in 20 will ever win me over to speak at all to them even hello.

    Yes you'll be asked about things like your childhood, about routines, behaviours and reactions when routine; is broken or someone speaks to you etc,

    About writing, numbers,

    various things so they can build up a comprehensive report and tell you if you're autistic and at what level from 1 to 3.
