Yes you're right, helpful. I'd have trouble with the eye contact part, but I think I can handle the rest.

| I understand that sensory processing in general is very idiosyncratic, but would you consider what I described as an example of my visual processing going momentarily awry? God, I talk like a geek. :? You talk like a geek? You do not. You should hear how I talk when I'm discussing math or science. ... |

They only work at school, though, because they consist mainly of: How are you doing? Good, how are you? You understand the homework? You nervous about this quiz tomo... |

Does she have AS? Quite possibly.
Is it enough to warrant an assessment? I'd say yes. The sensory intolerances, the monotone, the detailed speech, the inability to understand figurative expressions, the "finds it very hard to see the bigger picture," these are all characteristic of/ common in AS. |
