This is such a funny comment To learn a whole language for a novel

I still read. I’m not the most social. I figure if someone wants to talk to me they will. I don’t immediately jump in but will after a bit.

I don’t see how it is an insult in any way to say Keiko may by on the spectrum. Certainly it is a consideration. I don’t see why asking any of that would be insulting. It doesn’t change the fact that someone can prefer and enjoy a different lifestyle regardless.
