Forgive me for jumping in here but assessments suck ass, my advice is to always lie or exaggerate your symptoms/struggles if you have to so you can get whatever score you need to get care. The rule of thumb I use is to fill out the assessment based on my absolute worst possible day that I am being affected by my disability and/or neurodivergence.
If you need the care and accommodation then you deserve it yanno? if a score is keeping you from getting your needs met then play the game.

This is good advice. It’s not cheating or lying if you’re sick or disabled, it’s leveling the playing field.
