Haven't read the book but since some people want to analyze and categorize her, proposing another idea between ASD and ASPD – schizoid PD. Some potential characteristics being: preferring to be alone (extreme introverion), indifference to social conventions and criticism, flat affect and/or stunted emotions, apathy towards relationships, introspection, secretiveness, not wanting to stand out, possible lack of empathy, lack of goals and aspirations etc. Usually not violent or impulsive or lacking the ability to read facial expressions, often confused with ASD...

She comes up on lists for avoidant PD as well. Haven’t read it yet though, so I’m not sure how accurate that is!

I agree with this. I’m autistic, and while I do think she shows a lot of symptoms, I don’t think that’s the only thing she has (if she is autistic at all). It’d be fascinating to hear a psychologist’s thoughts on her

I think you’re on to something here, Almost all of these traits fit the character to a tee (the exception being secretiveness).
