Aspergers and testing

So my doctor thinks I might have Asperger's Syndrome and hes sending me to get some kind of neuro-psychological testing, which he didn't really explain. I kind of freaked out when he told me that, because I hate doing stuff like that. Has anyone been through this and can you tell me what to expect?

Heya :)

Nothing to freak out about, really.
For me it was 2 conversations with a psychiatrist (1 with me alone and one with my mom) aimed to figure out how I behaved when I was younger and stuff.

Yet another conversation with a psychologist to do the exact same thing >.>
(In my case the diagnosis would be made with a team consisting of different persons, and they all just love/prefer to see how you behave/react to questions, which kind of annoyed me)

The actual testing bit: They gave me a bunch of questionaires about social events, to see how high I scored at those.

A bunch of IQ-test puzzles (Quite a variation, from random knowledge questions to put cards in the right order to make a logic story, to find whatever is missing in a bunch of pictures or recreate an image with a bunch of colored blocks, I kinda liked those)

After that a collection of some more psychological tests on a computer (The usual questions, about how you feel, how you'd react in a certain situation, etc. All I remember about those is that there were a LOAD of questions)

And finally, at the end of the day, they wanted me to draw a bunch of things, though I still don't get why :p (Thank goodness they didn't judge me on my drawing skills, though)

The psychiatrist convo's were at 2 different dates, and the whole psychological crap was at the same day.

Anyway, hope this helps you a bit :)

Regards,

Cianna

Yay drawing! I don't know why that would be important, but I do love to draw.
Thanks for replying, I feel better if I know whats going to happen in advance. The only part that sounds stressful is the talking about my childhood part...

Hehe, I'm quite sure the drawings I had to make were to test my imagination.

"Draw a tree"
"Draw a fantasy tree"
"Draw a dream tree"
"Can I get colored pencils?"
"no"

Later on: Comment your drawings
"This is a tree"
"This is also a tree"
"This is another freaking tree"

(In my defense: The drawing part was at the end of a loong day, and that test in a period I was so extremely afraid/paranoid I couldn't sleep/eat at all, and the day before that test I was sent off to a different psychiatrist due to that; You could say I was extremely annoyed by everything back then :p)
