She's been repeatedly declined an autism diagnosis for not ticking enough boxes, which could be PDD-NOS (literally Autism Lite™) but AFAIK is a defunct diagnosis like Aspergers.
If I remember correctly PDD-NOS is under the umbrella of "Autism Spectrum Disorder" (ASD) which encompasses what used to be Aspergers, etc.
Either way, Staph does not know or chooses not to acknowledge social norms. I don't know if she genuinely has no clue (or she was never taught), if she says it for shock value or thinks she's being super progressive by 'normalizing' her shitting schedule. She may think of it like 'normalizing' periods. But it's one thing for a 13 year old girl to be afraid/embarrassed to ask for a pad and another to be a 30 year old giving a play by play of your bathroom habits.
