Quick question for @actuallyautistic -- I'm finally able to get my little guy evaluated for autism soon (ie before August after a five year wait).

Is there anything I need to do (or not do) to prepare my son for the process? He's six years old for reference. We've suspected since around 1.5 years. Thanks, Laura

Don't make a big deal about it, before the appointment. Watch him for signs that he may need to take a break from being evaluated. You know your child better than the evaluator does.
