My D is very similar, and is in college now. She has improved some with age, but I sure wish we had known this might be improved with Speech Therapy.
She also has trouble discerning other people's emotions, and I have wondered if this is because she doesn't/can't look carefully enough at their faces during a conversation. She undertook learning to read emotions better on her own (and learning to express them more like everyone else does) while in middle school by watching YouTube videos. Her own solution, I didn't hear about it until a few years later.
