I Had a neurological psychologist test today.

**Roverlord off road spares** · 28th June 2018, 04:04 PM

I spent 2 hours with a neurological psychologist today at the local hospital.
2 hours of full on testing, now i have to wait 2 weeks for the results. My social worker was worried about me and organised it. The NDIS assessor visited me yesterday and said I was lucky to get one of these as these tests as they were hard to get she claims.
If some one blurts out a series of numbers like a phone number could you remember them and repeat them backwards?
Draw complex geometry pictures from a 10 second siting and the draw from memory with a pencil but have the tester change your colour of the pencil every few stokes.
say 20 words and expect you to remember them all. Tell you a detailed story and 1/2 hr later ask you to retell if with all the key details under a stop watch

I think I went reasonably well under the circumstances, will have to see.

And if you can’t do any of them very well, you’re normal.
Good luck.

A lot of that is because they have developed a lot of new medicines that help treat the illnesses that they didn’t have years ago. And they have found that many patients do better with social contact then being isolated away.

Its not all all cost cutting.

Yes and in the USA it is estimated that 80-90% of street people are mentally ill.
I don't think the number would be much different in Australia.
So out of accommodation and into the street.
I believe that in times of acute schizophrenia for example, someone is better off in a facility than on the street. My brother was a sufferer and it was my job to have him voluntarily admit himself.

Was the test called the WMS?

Don't know what it was called. It wasn't done on a computer.
It was to check my memory both short and long term and problem solving and attention span. Due the amount of medical issues I have they were concerned about me, so they suggested the test to give me some strategies to help me.

I would FAIL!
One of our boys left on a 9 day school trip yesterday.

I woke up this morning, noticed he wasn't at breakfast & sent one of the other kids to get him.
Couldn't figure out why he was looking at me oddly so I started to burr up that he hadn't gone to get the boy who is away.
SWMBO sorted it out.

Nothing wrong with my..............................what's that word?
