The Rose Code:
Hi! Is it possible that Beth is autistic? I'm not an expert by any means, but it seemed like she exhibited some of the symptoms such as being detached from emotions and a fixation on a particular activity, i.e., decoding. (My apologies to anyone in the autism community if this is completely off-base!)
