"The Code for Everything" by McKinley Valentine
I almost skipped past this story because of its urban setting, but then the magic showed up—there are not one but two talking cats—and I had to know what they wanted from Izzy, the protagonist who can never seem to follow any social norms without embarrassing herself. Valentine does an excellent job exploring the difficulties of navigating social situations in less than 1500 words and also gives us a happy ending. If I were a teacher, I'd make this story required reading to give students one example (out of many) of what it's like to be a neurodivergent person.
