And THAT ozlander, is exactly what my neice has, as an arm chair diagnostcian of totally unqualified status sees her situation...she is SO FOCUSED on certain items...with a very acute attention to detail ( ie, don't let her near a cell phone if you want to see it again that day) and yet with a clarity of perception regarding most things that has amazing comments coming out of her four year old mouth. She is also very lengthy in her explanations; she can ramble on for minutes regarding a subject with little attention paid to response.
What does concern me is her lack of empathy...that one gets to me. Otherwise, I love being with her, totally!
