Oh, lack of eye contact shows up when she talks, too. But she's not a rambler, or a monologuer. She does not bore people with topics not of interest to them (she doesn't have obsessive interests--although she's pretty into Harry Potter, but she doesn't talk about it much). If there is an issue, it's more that she doesn't sustain the conversation well--a short, undeveloped answer, then silence. But if I listen to her talking to peers, she sounds fine. She doesn't do quite as well with highly sophisticated peers who are trying to be "cool," but she has no social problems. I think, actually, that she knows how to hang back and be quiet if she is unsure. She is not obtrusive/annoying like some kids with ASD traits.
