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!!

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."
