It's a trick of the globally gifted kid with a wide array of interests that they can find common ground with just about anyone. DD9 is into all the same things NT kids her age are into... American Girl, Lego, Minecraft, video games, the latest music, movies, or insipid tween sitcoms, playing sports, being goofy... so she can always find things to relate with other kids.

She just also happens to be way into literature, music, and science, too, in ways that most kids her age just can't understand.
