i was very young when i got diagnosed so i can’t say much on the what questions they’ll ask you. just answer with the most information possible it helps them get a better scope of what’s going on. also to note some personality disorders can look like autism and same goes for a lot of other things so it’s best to just answer with the most detail so they can be precise in the diagnosis.
