questions about assessment?

...See more Hello! I had an autism assessment and I am just curious what others think about how it went, it left me feeling extremely confused. I started by saying hello to the person who is examining me, and I know I have facial expressions that are very strong which the examiner commented on. She asked me some questions like my relationships with other people growing up if I had objects that I would carry with me etc. I told her that I did have like a doll I would carry with me regularly... and there have been some instances in which I have had issues in which I would say the wrong thing or just something that is not necessarily appropriate at the time and feel a little bad about it later because I realized that that is not the right thing... for example I told her that there was a kid in HS that had epilepsy and I know the kids made really dumb jokes about different things... a kid said he has epilepsy and I thought he was making a joke of it/I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic so I just laughed....and said ahahah I know you have epilepsy and made a joke. I personally didn't think it was funny but I was trying to fit in and I know the other kids did that, which sounds horrible of me (I am not proud of it at all) There has been other circumstances when I don't necessarily correlate situations that happen, like I will say something that kinda contradicts something I've said... and I don't know why I have done it. My mom and I for example went to the mall and she bought a bottle of perfume, we went to get my dads gift not her perfume...she said she was ready to go and told me she got the perfume... so I don't know why but I proceeded to ask her if she got the perfume for my father... it came across as I was being passive aggressive but I know I wasn't meaning that way. I just was not connecting the two situations together for some reason....? So anyway, we proceed. after going through all these questions she pulls out this book called "free fall" I found a pdf version of it here; https://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/freefall.pdf she told me to tell her the book and what is going on... so the first page I told her there was a boy and a book and the book is laying on the boy... she asked me what is he doing I said well he looks sleep... she told me to go to the next page... I didn't know what was really going on but I saw this creature thing and I told her I think maybe its a caterpillar or something alien or something but I don't really know, in my head I was starting to think that its possible that the kid was dreaming.. but I flipped the previous page and I don't know I just was thinking maybe not because the kid doesn't necessarily look the same... so we proceeded.. and we got to the page with the boy looking at a bird.... and his eyes are open and mouth is wide open... so she asked me what is he feeling/what does he look like he is feeling? I said well, he looks scared. She asked me why? I said well, his eyes are open and his mouth, but I am not really sure. She gives me a picture....The picture has a ton of people doing different tasks... volleyball, surfing, skiing, etc. the while I am looking at the pic and explaining it to her, she says to me "when is the last time you have been on vacation?" I said well, my family we used to go every year before covid. and then I started to look at the page again... and then I asked her "are you trying to trick me or something right now?" and she said no. but it was odd that she just randomly asked me that question. So, she said I can go back to the page, so I start looking and describing it again... and idk I just remember her asking me if I like to swim. I said well, no I don't like swimming (I actually like to swim but I wasn't trying to get into it with her). She says "I can't swim" so I said "my mom took me to lessons as a child" that was the end of that. so, after the fact, she starts asking me about anger, sadness, happiness. What are they? I can tell her what they are, but then she asked me to tell them how they are to me... I told her I am not sure I know anger makes me feel like yelling. Happiness is just like a good happy feeling, and so is sadness I said sadness sometimes makes me tired I think... there was also a point she asked me about eye contact I told her well it hurts... its doesn't literally hurt but it is hella uncomfortable for me. Did anyone have this assessment? did you answer similarly? Were you diagnosed autism? Were you confused? I'm just curious? they said I don't get the result until 3 weeks and its driving me insane.
