I thought about this later. Aspbergers is closely related to this.
I have a friend with this and you can't give them a hint - you
have to spell it out or they don't get it. Reading facial expressions
or cues doesn't work. And even those of us without it aren't the
most brilliant.
And yes, she probably would have fainted on the spot. I noticed
after I watched ep13 again that she was stunned by him showing
up at the front gates of her house - why was he talking to her
friend? Why was he walking away? Why did he appear upset?
What is he doing here? Can you imagine?
She probably had a hundred questions racing thru her brain right
then.
Imagine if someone you liked (but were pretty sure they didn't
know you existed) showed up at your front door as if they were
looking for you.
The shock and panic alone would be enough to do you in.
So yeah, after a few days of living with it I think it was smarter.
Otherwise she would have been in an ICU or something.
