Yeah, could be both.

You sound a lot like my daughter She is only 10, and the pediatriician told me she likely has sensory processing disorder. She was slow to develop some motor skills like jumping and still takes the stairs down in a weird way. I think she just missed the end of the autism spectrum near Aspergers. Already, she likes computer science and says she wants to get a Ph.D. in computer science. Her math skill are sky high even though we have not worked ahead with her except for math competitions (the teacher who coaches will work them ahead a little), and she's already won 4 math medals, and she already reads at above a 12th grade level though she is only 10. I had to email her math teacher this morning to tell her not to give any math problems my daughter writes out to other kids to solve because she was telling me problems she wrote for getting to know you type answers like how many siblings you have, how many pets your have, etc. And that was just her first day of 5th grade yesterday. Not a surprise, she was given the GT label in kindergarten. But she lacks social skills and reading social cues. She is highly introverted and has made 2 best friends, both extreme extroverts, and one the only child I've met with such good people skills, helping my daughter through meltdowns at school. She has not been diagnosed. We don't have the money, and my husband does not want her labeled. when she was around 5 or 6, she used to stim when I told her to do something she didn't want to do. She cannot stand loud noise and last year told me the noise encouraged to rile up all the kids for the school fundraiser made her feel sick. Strangely, she never lies about anything either, even if she knows it will put her in trouble. I could go on about her sensory issues; there are a lot. I'm about 99% certain my father is undiagnosed Asperger's. Everyone who meets him and talks to him knows he is not exactly normal within 1-2 minutes. I wish I had known this as a kid; growing up with him was hard. I have only a surface relationship with him because he never seems to relate to people.

I hope she will not grow up to have bipolar, but mental health issues run deep along my mother's side of the family, and then there's me, so I think she's already predisposed to developing bipolar. Or maybe not because of her personality being so quirky.
