"Illness" is the wrong word, it is a variety of what I would call "psychological something like blood types," and I call it my "professionally qualifying disability." Doro from Galoxee's Asperger TV has made some quite decent explanatory videos to make it understandable for NTs. The problem here, as far as I understand it, is an "assessment company," meaning a big firm from which you don't know in advance which of their guys will show up at your door.I would also first try it on a personal level. Call the assessor and tell him about the problem with your wife. That is a completely normal condition, should not be judged, and it cannot be argued away. If you find a common ground on a friendly level, then he can certainly be very considerate.
In our case, it would be that my dear lady (NT) would guide the gentleman through the property in my absence. That means the situation is handled by a trusted person and that would be fine (which unfortunately does not work equally well for all affected people).Alternatively, give the wife a nice day out with her best friend and lead the assessor undercover through the house. However, if this comes out, it will probably be a bigger breach of trust.
