Usually talks quite loudly, but doesn't realise she's doing it. (That's Misha all over!). Sometimes stumbles a bit over long words. And has genuine trouble noticing when she's making others uncomfortable (like when Misha is leaning over Hisao after the confrontation between Shizune and Lilly and doesn't seem to understand why he's getting annoyed with her. Or when she always seems to be poking her nose into things). But she is very intelligent, and could probably learn sign language quite easily if she put her mind to it.
Not sure if that is what Misha has though. Just a suggestion.
I don't know, my husband has Aspberger's and was diagnosed at a young age, and he's nothing like Misha. He can be gregarious but usually he's very blunt, his prone to angry episodes (or was, more prominent as a child), has a huge vocabulary, but has very limited interests (in this case, Star Wars and the Military) and in general dislikes people and cannot relate to or understand them.
Aspergers is really hard to pin out. Partly because it's on the autism spectrum, which covers a whole range of mental illnesses.
While other physical illnesses like bronchitus or strep throat have well defined symptoms, aspergers isn't that way at all. With aspergers, some symptoms may show and others may not. As proof, I also was diagnosed with aspergers, and my interests encompass a very wide range of studies from science to history. This is a complete contrast to your husband. In other ways, I'm just like him: I was prone to anger fits, and I also find it somewhat hard to relate to people.
From what I understand, aspergers is a much more of a social disorder. It makes it much harder for people to converse and communicate. That DEFINITELY is NOT Misha.
If I had to say, I'd think ADHD. Either that, or she doesn't have one...
It's not always about swearing, you know.
I don't do that submissive shit!
