There wasn't time during the assessment for that. It wasn't for lack of trying to relay such things. I even said I'd hoped we might have had time to discuss it. They have a set way of doing things, which involves looking at children's story books and drawing pictures. There's no time to discuss past experiences or why I think I might be on the spectrum, which is pretty crazy. They put it down to childhood trauma in the end.
