i suppose I expected some might be surprised as it’s not perhaps overly obvious and she tends to hold things together mostly at school but had loads of issues with socialising, anxiety and communication:

Every single person I’ve spoken to about it so far has said something along the lines of ‘well I think we all are on the spectrum, aren’t we’
