Can they still do an assessment if…

💁‍♀️ seeking advice / support

…none of your family are available to interview and you aren’t married? I heard that they want childhood information and I am an unreliable source as I have a complex dissociative disorder and c-ptsd.

I am divorced and my ex lives in another state (I’m in the US). My middle child is dx’d ADHD. My eldest child is stereotypically autistic (not dx’d) even down to the childhood fascination with trains and a period where he stopped talking completely.

I’m pretty sure I’m both but I’m AFAB and a minority and I’m in my 50s. I’m trying to get information before I decide whether to pursue diagnosis or not.

Thanks for any replies.
