4. Fascinating
Some neurotypical questions:

Why does she say her speech is "not congruent" with her thoughts?

What sort of artwork does she do?

Some insight on the eye contact thing?

5. Many of us on the spectrum think visually, not in words
I often can never think of the word for a perfectly mundane thing, like a broom or a chair, quite embarrassing.

Prolonged eye contact just seems painful to me, can't explain way.
