I'd say to definitely email her if you would like to keep in touch, but don't ask for skype or a phone number unless you are sure she is responding to you in a positive way and is interested in getting to know you further, and if she does, do this after several exchanges so that you have a chance to chat and get comfortable. If she asks about your life or your interests, that shows interest. If she gives short answers and does not ask about you, she is likely not interested in keeping in touch.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.
This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.
My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
