Yes, makes sense. She is definitely not asperger's, she is more severe, like moderate autism. She is quite good at understand other people's emotion if you sort of push it to the front of her head, if she compares to self. But she cannot trigger this process herself. And she cannot keep it in mind for very long.

She has said she wants people to like her and I say she needs to understand where she is at. And what is different. And learn skills to socialize. But she doesn't understand that because it gets too abstract for her how I explain it. She tries to get it into the concrete and absolute and in detail. She wants me to analyze every of her social situations to tell her who did wrong, her or the other one. I try to explain I cannot be a teacher for every situation in life and sometimes there is no right and wrong like that. She says that is the only way she knows how to think.

She gets very frustrated when people take a step away from her. Not to leave her but to let themselves breathe. Then she tries to "manipulate" them to care by telling everything wrong that has ever happened to her. I try to get through to her I care, but it is hard. She is already angry and think I will abandon her.
