(Autistic person here, working on expressing my emotions too) You could try a feelings wheel. There are a few different designs that work on different principles, but the general idea is that they show the relationships between different emotions. I attached a few here so you can see which one works for her best.

TREE is an extremely fast-growing function in set theory. TREE(1) equals 1, TREE(2) equals 3, and TREE(3) equals a number so large that its lower bound easily dwarfs Graham's Number.

What neurotypical people don't get is that autism affects literally everything about us. From how we perceive and interact with the world to how we experience emotion to how we think to our self-awareness and self-perception. To cure autism would be to cause a death of personality. We would be fundamentally different people, if we remained at all

Maybe try going into the settings and forcing a sync? That happens occasionally with the app on my phone, and I just hit the force sync button to get everything back

Certain types of computer monitors can get a hardware issue (read: broken) that results in a permanent thin white line across or down the screen.

Different people don't like it for different reasons. Some people don't like it because they think it has CIA financial backing (nope), and some people don't like it because it requires your phone number, therefore it is not private (the privacy it provides is more than sufficient for anyone not actively being persecuted by a Five Eyes state), and some people don't like it because it feels corporate (it's a 501c3 nonprofit, and how corporate it feels is subjective).

it is psychosomatic, but can still be debilitating. i knew a Navy veteran who could not drink straight water at all because while in the Navy, he had to drink several gallons of the stuff every day. as soon as he was discharged (honorably), he found he couldn't have water without anything added to it simply because he had so much of it in the service. of course, he still has to drink water, so he carries around a bottle of flavoring

Star Trek: Discovery has Cadet Sylvia Tilly, a character who's not identified as autistic but is very coded as such (e.g. in her first scene, she seems to have trouble with picking up on social cues and talks a lot, and she had to get a different fabric for her bedsheets because of "special needs"). her portrayal is very respectful and positive, and as all the characters get to know each other they make an active effort to be understanding and accommodating towards her and treat her like the capable officer she is

Signal was developed with financial backing by the CIA, so do with that information what you will.
