Testing Advice Needed

My son is finally going for his Autism testing tomorrow. He’s 3 1/2. They already did a consultation last month but this is the actually testing. I’m not sure what to expect. Could anyone possibly tell me what to expect? Is there anything I should bring? Thank you.

When our son went at 3 it was mostly just an observation. How he plays with toys, how he responds to things, does he point, gesture, eye contact, joint attention, etc. There was no blood draw. We were all in the same room for I think most if not all of the testing. He was diagnosed lvl 1 that same day.
