You are right. I meant she might have a learning disability of some kind rather than autism in particular. She really doesn't seem to grasp half of what is going on a lot of the time. Even the lack of vocab is not necessarily self inflicted. It's hard to know but I am inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. She really seemed like a rabbit in the headlights when she came out and I felt kind of sorry for her.
