Did any of you get assessed with ASD without an informant in the process

I am in the middle of an ASD/ ADHD diagnosis at MIMH (govt institute) and I have been asked to bring my mother as an informant. My mother is a self proclaimed 'perfectionist' and an 'ideal parent'. She denies the difficulties I had in childhood like: not being able to make friends, being silent at school, inability to express my emotional state/sensitivities (alexithymia), stimming - among the most prominent ones.

I am scared that she will sabotage the assessment.

Did anyone of you get diagnosed without the need of an informant? Please let me know from where. Have you faced a similar situation as mine?
