I had neuropsych testing done several years ago, not long after my dx. There were tests for manual dexterity, which were slightly bothersome, and repetitive motions, which drove me INSANE! I was fine with the "what-if" scenarios to test logic, and the list memorization was ok even though I knew I could have done way better before dx. I got really baffled on the spatial tasks. There were these puzzle type things that you had to build with different shaped blocks, and I just couldn't do it.

The overall results didn't really show me anything I didn't already know, but it validated my feeling that certain areas were slipping as it showed some deficits. I was surprised during the test at how frustrated and upset I got during the repetitive motion test. It made me want to scream! And I hadn't realized how bad the spatial reasoning deficit was. Now I know why I have such a hard time loading the dishwasher!
