I've seen traits in her, too. Like, she's absolutely terrified of

balloons popping - a huge sensory issue! Also, she is like me in that

she picks up accents and such very easily, without knowing it

necessarily - that may be part of echolalia type stuff (or something

like that that has to do with the spectrum). Those are the main two

that I've seen, but I've never looked into it any further as her topics

generally annoy me these days - too much focus on really evil, yucky

stuff like molestation, etc.
