.. unless someone is very specific about what they want her to write (asking a specific question) she is unable to come up with anything. She doesn't understand the concept of writing a fictional story. But she also doesn't play either, and never has, so that's not too surprising. She can be creative--she designs brilliant things on Minecraft for instance. Her speech/language is good and she often sounds much older than she is.
FWIW, this sounds *exactly* like my ds.
The stories about the cats are cracking me up too! Our ds never wrote about dead cats, but when he had to write in early elementary and was absolutely forced to do it, he had a pig character he wrote about. Every single darn story was about that pig (not that there were all that many stories).... His teachers never realized it but choosing the pig was ds' way of being a bit snarky about the whole situation
