Yes and no. She has spent a lot of time in the Spiritron Computer and in the workshop under time manipulation, though how much of that counts is up for debate.
...did you even read the post before that one?
Aisha has not been sheltered throughout her life lol. Maybe she'd appear sheltered relative to her knowledge, but she's not a sheltered person like.... at all imo.
Hence oddly lopsided. She is somehow both sheltered but not actually.
Sadly, not until after I posted. I feel silly, but I also didn't feel like deleting it. Today is just one of those days I feel utterly drained and half awake, despite my best efforts otherwise.
If her own works with energy shields and eldrich impossible colours plus whatever casual chemistry she was doing with detox are any indication, I think SHE can read lectures to Hawking at this point. Which is kinda pushes her even more far away from her peers.

She's lopsided in that she could give you a detailed history of the United States and it's political dynamics and how that made Brockton Bay what it is today, but also she'd still struggle to socialize with people her age and still have much of the same emotional reactions of a 13-year-old.
Don't forget, the temporal 10k:1 dilation effect when she's "inside" the workshop. If she's spent more than 2hrs realtime in the workshop, she's already gained over 2 years physical age. Adding that onto her spiritron time pushes her up into the 18-20 age range.
But 2 hours at 1:10k (aka 10 000) is 20 000 hours, or ~2,28 years.
It's also inaccurate; maxed out the actual rate in the core is closer to 1:50k:
The downside is that Gully is probably gonna get rushed by the Case 53's when the news of her being fixed eventually does leak.They will get to BB only to discover that Ape and co are at the other side of the planet fighting Super China
Even worse by the time he hears about this (probably next morning), the S9 would've been destroyed and the Celestial Forge would be healing all of their victims. At that point, he would certainly both need more patience after seeing all those people healed and patience to deal with the rest of the Case 53s who had just heard about Gully along with him.
Thinking about this, there's probably a reason why Joe hasn't put any anti Thinker protections on the gifts he gave Gully and Flechette. The entire point of waiting for the S9 is to not reveal his anti Thinker spoofing quite yet - and unlike in the case of his gift to Uppercrust, what he gave them would certainly get studied as much as possible by the PRT. Adding anti Thinker protections to them would certainly show his hand on that matter to the Thinktank.
They sure as hell going to ask her nicely to allow them check it and lets be real, what reasons Gully has to say them no? They not taking it away permanently or damaging it or anything and probably going to return it the moment she asks for it (assuming shovel itself wont just jump to her as you said).
Except if it's protecting Gully from Thinkers like its purpose would be if it was added then it would be very clear that some anti-Thinker protection was added, especially now that people are looking out for it after March.
They could also just ask her politely to come into one of Armsmaster's labs and let him study the shovel. Or in the case of Flechette, order her since she is indeed still in their jurisdiction. So long as it doesn't cross the line to "imprisonment" as Lethe put it and they don't ask too many details about the contracts according to Apeiron, there's still plenty of things they could ask.
