Nice to meet you, Kristen!
Girls on the spectrum are a sub-category of their own. I've found over the years that about 70% of what my cohorts with boys say makes the gender transition, but that other 30% is a whole new world.
Throw in HG and you're raising a child that teachers may simply not recognize as anything they've seen before. That can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the teacher. Overall, I found that the gifted label saved N from being relegated to the depths of what passes for exceptional ed around here more than once.
Anyway, welcome to what may as well be titled "the care and feeding of magical creatures", with apologies to Rowling.
