Sorry, but Zach is acting out of character for an autistic man. He has been in the dark for days, not knowing how to handle this relationship with Colette, since it is so different from what he is accutomed to. That kind of uncertainty would be maximally stressful, enough to interfere with his ability to function. Now she tells him that she deliberately kept him in the dark, delaying the conversation about their mutual expectations, because she wanted him to struggle with the situation. If Berte was irritated because Zach answered a question with a question instead of an answer, then Zach should be exploding with rage for being manipulated like this.
