That is what blunted/flat affect is, having emotions but being unable to display them. It's also a component of several other disorders, I imagine.
When I said apathy, I referred more to giving up and leaving when it becomes obvious that friendship is too difficult, as she did twice in the show. I guess that wasn't self-explanatory after all.
Maybe I should have put that lower in the list or excluded it so people wouldn't see it first and stop reading the rest.
Yes, it's possible she has AspeRger's Syndrome, but that doesn't include hallucinations. I understand I'm not a psychiatrist, but I am basing this on my own diagnosis and I act like her in social situations, so it's not a shot in the dark either.
But yes, this plea to treat people with mental illness with respect does also apply to people with that. Glad to see you didn't completely miss the point.
