<!--
RNC, re Q16: A comma after "interests" is absent in the ARC's Word
version, but present in Baron-Cohen et al. (2001). Per e.g. Butterfield,
J. (2015) "Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage", fourth edition,
under the entry for "that (relative pronoun)": "which" can be restrictive
(without comma) or non-restrictive (with comma), though many feel that
"that" is obligatory for restrictive clauses (thus preferring always: "X
that Y" for restrictive or "X, which Y" for non-restrictive). Here, a
restrictive meaning is likely intended (if one had strong interests but
did not get upset if one could not pursue them, one would likely answer
no); otherwise, the second half of the clause would be redundant.
Butterfield considers it grammatically correct, if more unusual, to have
a non-restrictive clause with "which", and we are not going to change the
text, of course, so we will follow the ARC's original version rather than
the Baron-Cohen et al. (2001) version (which was potentially copy-edited
thus by the journal). (References are in aq.rst.)

<!--
RNC, re Q49: Singular "date" contravenes grammatical agreement with
"people" (they do not all share one date of birth) but is in both the
ARC and the Baron-Cohen et al. (2001) published version.
