What If Cinderella Were ON The Spectrum

The  author of Poirot's Curse again shows the beauty and challenges of living with a disability -- in this case, Cinderella being socially awkward... offending others without intending to, and deal with people who assume the worst about her, namely because she's socially awkward: "Did you sleep well?" I find myself asking, trying to make a conversation. "You sound tired." I remark.    "Well, " Cinderella chuckles.
"At least you didn't say that I look tired.  That would've sucked." She laughs.     I nod, not sure what to say.     "I have insomnia." Cinderella says.  I must've fallen asleep around 5 and had to be up at 6:30."     "You look relaxed." Cinderella points out.  I know it sounds weird, but when you have insomnia, you wonder how others fall asleep so easily."  She again touches my shoulder lightly.     I stop walking and lean against the wall.
 There is plenty of time before the session starts, so why rush.     "Are you lonely? Insomnia is strongly associated with loneliness." I elaborate.
