She interacts better one on one with kids, if it is more than one kid than she is usually left out. By left out I don't mean they purposely exclude her, she just kind of stays out of the group. I haven't really noticed anything with project work at school so I can't comment on that.
She has 2 good friends this year in her G&T class, versus last year she didn't have any friends.
She's had other signs of sensory sensitivities, the usual... toilets, clothing, loud noises, didn't like water parks until she was over 5 (would scream) and even then wouldn't go in the splash areas for little kids. When she was little she didn't like the feeling of rain on her skin. There were others I just can't remember off the top of my head. Most of these things she's grown out of. She's always just been very quirky. I.e. when she was in preschool at 3 there was a school party and while all the other kids were running around playing and chasing each other she sat at a table and kept spinning a top and watching it. She had never seen/had a top before. It's those moments that you are observing and seeing how your kid is so different from the rest of her peers and it's hard to accept. I still see how she is different even in her G&T class.
Since she was a toddler my gut has been that she may have AS, but when she tested highly gifted on the WISC (99.9%) I just figured it's her giftedness and the quirks that go with it. The psychologist didn't comment on anything that seemed out of the ordinary about her test results. She is socially odd imo, but often times I think it's b/c other kids just don't get her and her sense of humor.
It just makes me sad to see her isolate herself from others. I've posted about this before, so this isn't a new issue.
ETA: Imo she has a very unusual WISC profile, but I don't know if that really means anything.
