I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice

What information are they looking for here?? I'd be so stressed wondering if my random collected junk collection was autistic enough. Do I bring my weird shit or just the "normal" trinkets? Should I just bring my favorites? How should I organize them? How many is too many?? Help I need to know why so I can make sure I do it right 😭

I know a formal diagnosis can help, but don't forget self diagnosis is valid. It sounds like you're working with someone with outdated knowledge of autism.

Congrats.

Thank you.

I am a week away from mine.

I hope it goes well for you.

I’m not hopful since I can’t seem to find any if the written records they wanted.

They might be able to figure it out even without the written records if you show traits.

I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice.

That is odd. For me, when a part like that came, the evaluators provided those items themselves.

I also have to go 2 hours to my home town just so I can help my mother access the online meeting.

Hopefully it'll be worth it.

I half suspect they’ll just tell me it’s inconclusive because I can’t find my elementary transcripts from over 25 years ago.

Again, they might just be able to figure it out via your demeanor if they need to. Here's hoping that they can diagnose you, even without the records.
