I've been aware of my Aspergers/diagnosed for a while now, but I'm finally having a psychological education assessment done tomorrow because I've recently learned that it will enable me to receive money from the government for school, as well as I can use it as proof for various scholarships for "students with disability" and it will allow me to register with my school's disability resource centre (which will enable me certain advantages when it comes to classes and testing), and I'm just wondering what to expect. Have any of you had one?

And this is going to sound wild, but I suffered a concussion yesterday after an auto accident where the airbags didn't deploy (I don't even remember smacking my head against the steering wheel, but apparently I did) and I've been having memory issues since. Will this affect my psych-ed?

I've had two for getting on disability.
It's just one person asking you a lot of questions. Education background. Some personal questions in there that you can choose not to answer. And of course getting you to talk about your symptoms. With me they asked about what job wouldn't be suitable for me and of course mentioned social skills.
I always thought I answered so honestly that I wouldn't get on it but I did.
I don't think a concussion would influence the test negatively.
