Neurological testing? Has anyone gone thru this?

Has anyone gone thru the Neurological testing involved in gaining an official diagnosis of Asperger's? I have an appointment in March. They told me it would take about 4 hours!!! Yikes! Hope it doesn't involve a brain probe or something! Will I get a smoke break? Do they provide lunch?
I'm considering applying for disability, as I have been unable to hold down even a part time job for the past 4 years. Figured I'd need a Neuro workup for that.
Just curious about what I'll be up against.
Thanks all!:unsure:
 
Four hours sounds right. No, there is no brain probe. You will be allowed breaks (at least I was). I chose not to take breaks because I didn't want to prolong the process; just wanted it over with. It's not tortuous, just tedious. You should probably plan to bring a bag lunch if your appt. is in the middle of the day.
