It depends which part of the assessment you are doing. There will be an interview for you and then several assessments for your DS. Assessments for DS will normally look more like playing, normally with only the OT on their own and perhaps the multi-displinary team watching from behind glass. They'll normally introduce different games to test different areas and watch how they play and interact with the toys and with the assessor. They will do things to try and get a reaction, but ASD assessors are very on the ball and will know that these kids have different reactions to different people at different times. They might do some IQ tests, vocab reception tests etc, but only if there are blank areas they need filling in.
