Asperger's Syndrome is what is known as a 'high-functioning' Autism.
Those with Asperger's Syndrome, known as Aspergians, suffer from a number of impairments. Each Aspergian is different, but namely, they have difficulty interacting socially and some do have challenges with motor skills.
Kyle was shocked at Dr. Marveen's dianogsis.
"Are you sure?" Kyle asked, then put up his hand, apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude and question your skills, but she seems normal," Kyle said, "Other than the slight awkwardness in social settings, she hasn't portrayed anything unusual."
Kyle always put down her awkwardness just as her being an introvert, like he had been as Kylie.
This slight mini-arc is to explain Lianne's condition a bit more. It's part of the background for the 2nd novel as well.
To reiterate, every Aspergian is different though they do have some common ground. High intelligence, social awkwardness, and repetitive actions.
Lianne's condition (and behaviour) is based on someone I know personally, so the depiction is accurate for this particular Aspergian.
