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!!

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.
