I’m getting tested in a bit over two weeks and today was the pre-exam via video call.
The assistant dude that did the interview asked how fiddly/hyperactive I see myself as, and I was like “eh, a bit but not that far above average” Apparently I had been rotating back and forth in my desk chair for the entirety of the preceding 10 mins, which he did point out :|
Apparently it’s also not called “Girl math”, but “Impulsive over-spending”. SMH my head
On an upside though, he also owns reptiles and was happy to indulge an unreasonable amount of questions about his chameleon!!
He has a chameleon??? Holy shit, anyone who can keep those goobers alive & healthy are fukkin rad!!

Is… is this a quirky joke comment made for nothing but effect, or… did you … actually not know this, and learn this in the meeting?
Surely the former.
I didn’t know until this post. But I’m also not really up on my memes.
Didn’t know “girl math”? I didn’t either but I don’t think that’s the question.

Why don’t you try be a little less horrible? OP is sharing their life stories with us. Be nice.
Oh wow you deleted my comment.
I am 35 years old, and autistic.
I’m not especially savvy to newer, younger social/internet memes, and I was honestly describing my understanding of ‘girl math’ as a modern social meme or phenomenon or what have you.
I genuinely was, and still am trying to figure out if my anecdotal experience with ‘girl math’ is a reasonably accurate understanding or not.
Could you perhaps point out where I was specifically horrible towards OP?
I’d love to be able to review what I wrote, but you’ve deleted it.
Yeah, you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not sure what the problem was.
Well its been about 24hrs now, MrPoopyButthole has been posting in this time, so they would have seen my reply… apparently they don’t care to expand on this.
Ive been called out on the fidgeting thing a couple times. Mostly people asking if i had too much coffee this morning which then i realize both my legs are bouncing a mile a minute and im drumming the desk like a madman. Internally though i was fine, didnt even realize i was doing it. Anyway, good luck with your testing!
I know I fidget, but always have a paper clip or something to mess with off screen or in my pocket. It wasn’t until I watched the recording of a talk I gave to high school students about our program, that it really hit home. Throughout my half hour talk the back of my chair (which is quite high) can be seen swinging from one side to another behind me. It’s green too so pretty distracting!
Oof that is so annoying when people just call you out like that… 😅
In an appointment with my psychiatrist doing the questionnaire, they were asking the questions, and I’d answer and they’d fill it out.
At one of the questions they say “this one is about fidgeting/not being able to sit still and I’m just gonna go ahead and fill that one in.”
I was like, “but I’ve been sitting still. I thought I was doing a good job sitting still, wasn’t I?”
Looks me dead in the eyes, “no, no you weren’t.”
