Did the issue of higher functioning ASD or pragmatic/social language skills ever come up during your school years? Would there be any documentation somewhere with an old school social worker?

I hope it is okay to ask that, I don’t want to pry! It’s just something I’ve seen quite a bit of — kids that are clearly somewhere on the spectrum, but they are quiet, get their work done, don’t cause any problems, so no one sees a need to investigate further, bc they deem there is no educational impact. But what I’ve found is that, at least for adolescents, the social impacts can be more damning than the academic ones.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing how your conversation with her goes.
