1) I don't think Joyce feels she needs step-to-step self-instructions for interacting with people. I mean, maybe she does, but Joyce doesn't feel she does.
2) the flip-notebook and jargon feels like it's slipping into more of a Dorothy/Dina space, really
3) Joyce already kind of suspected out-loud that Jennifer isn't, in fact, neurotypical, so: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2022/comic/book-12/04-dont-stop-billie-ving/slipshod/
Anyway. "...Grated?" as a punchline is much more understated, but I liked it.
