I've loved this book for decades. Read it multiple times. Thinking about it a bit, and I believe the Mc is autism coded.

Anyone else read this and agree?

Anyone have examples of this in other areas?

The ones that come to mind:

  • Captain Raymond Holt in Brooklyn 99
  • Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory
  • Mr Spock from Star Trek
  • Gus Fring from Breaking Bad (maybe)

Wait why Gustavo? I think he's just masking as an opressed gay, but I would be happy to get more insight. To clarify, I watched beter call saul and around 3 seasons of BB.

His unemotionality. The way he speaks formally. His precise mannerisms. The way he always seems to be putting on a facade, like he's an alien pretending to be human.

I don't think he was intended to come across as autistic, he just vaguely seems like it.
