First of all, diagnosing a child with Asperger’s at the age of 12 should be done very, very carefully. There are a lot of things that can affect a child's non-verbal communication skills and social awareness. That said, she's an adolescent, and it seems likely to me that her parents encouraged her stepping onto the world stage.

Totally agree.

I didn’t observe Asperger’s Syndrome in her. I did observe a lot of anger. Asberger’s Syndrome is usually noticeable pre school and is much less frequent in girls than boys as it is a super masculine consciousness with minimal ability to process emotions.

Asperger’s Syndrome children usually turn their head to the left when speaking to someone to restrict optic nerve input to the left logical hemisphere.

Greta turns her head to the right and experiences and expresses anger from right brain. She is psychologically disconnected from a wounded emotional child, but NOT Asperger’s.

Sorry, my spell check was changing spelling on earlier post.
