A Wizard Alone; Wizard’s Holiday by Diane Duane

6 and #7 of the Young Wizards series have Kit and Nita continuing their journey of How to Relate to Other People (Except With Magic). #6, A Wizard Alone, features a young wizard on the autism spectrum, and Kit and Nita’s efforts to communicate with him on his level; the concepts are a little outdated but the portrayal is sympathetic. #7, Wizard’s Holiday, has our heroes struggling to relate to alien beings with familiar problems; it’s essentially two stories in one that don’t really connect, and I feel has been the weakest of the series so far.
