I agree with DeeDee -- it is devilishly hard to suss out young female gifted Aspies. Anyone who thought "good eye contact and smiling and something vaguely resembling interactive and imaginative play" plus a behavior questionnaire could easily prove it wasn't AS doesn't have a clue.
Remember that "imaginative play" can include some not-very-imaginative things. And I know some gifted female Aspies who have *tremendous* capacities for imaginative play and elaborate paracosms (fantasy worlds), including with other children.
