LOL...thoughts on Hermione

So, I'm going along reading the Parenting Asperger's support board over on AOL, when this post suddenly appears...
I knew there was a subtle reason Hermione never irritated me as I have seen her do to others...I was just rereading book 6 and found a charming little passage where the kids are waiting for their O.W.L. results. Hermione, of course, is obsessing over her exams:
She's an aspie, I tell you!She jumped up and started walking round and round th kitchen, twisting her fingers together....
"I know I messed up Ancient Rune," muttered Hermione feverishly. "I definitely made at least one serious mistranslation. And the DADA practical was no good at all. I though Transviguration went all right at the time, but looking back--"
"Hermione, will you shut up, you're not the only one who's nervous!" barked Ron. "And when you've got your eleven 'Outstanding' O.W.L.s..."
"Don't, don't, don't!" said Hermione, flapping her hands hysterically. "I know I've failed everything!"
