About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet hallway of the Autism Assessment center, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Amongst the usual forms and pamphlets on the reception desk lay an old, dusty book titled ‘The Unseen Guest.’ No one could recall it being there before. Curious, the regular picked up the book and flipped through its pages. Inside was a simple note scribbled in pencil: 'Please return if found.' Below that, someone had drawn a smiley face with big eyes and tiny hands waving hello. The next day, the same book appeared again, along with a new drawing—a little more elaborate each time. Eventually, everyone in the waiting room knew who the 'unseen guest' was—an imaginative child patient who left behind daily drawings for anyone kind enough to notice.
2. A sign above the entrance read: ‘Please use calm voices—we’re assessing autism here.’ But no one expected what happened next. Inside, a delivery driver started humming a tune while waiting for his package. A neighbor came in with her dog, who began barking excitedly. Everyone froze as they realized—they were disturbing the delicate assessment process! The doctor just shook his head and said, 'Next time, bring your instruments in cases.'
3. A delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does every package I bring here come back marked “Autistic parrot doesn’t understand English”?’ The staff smiled knowingly and explained that it was a friendly autistic parrot named Polly who lived in the office and loved to greet everyone with her unique greeting: ‘Hello, stranger!’ The packages were simply labeled as a precaution because Polly often rearranged them on the counter.
4. In the waiting room of the Autism Assessment Center, a poster caught everyone’s eye: 'If you can’t sit still for more than five minutes, please raise your hand.' By lunchtime, half the room had their hands up. Finally, an elderly gentleman raised his hand and said, ‘I’ve been here three hours already—why hasn’t anyone noticed?’
