Open Asperger Syndrome

My 2nd daughter has a very mild form of this disorder. She can function relatively fine in most settings. She appears to be a "tomboy" and her only few friends are boys, is obsessed with nature, sports and anything do with it. She is extremely articulate but has very little imagination. She does pick up on body language better but that is because she has had to be taught.
