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?

~~Jonah~~ Judah from Bojack horseman is very clearly autistic, but it's never mentioned or even the source of any plot point. He's just a regular character who happens to be autistic and has his own plot things and stuff.
Edit: misremembered the name
Vincent Adultman also feels sympathetic. Not straight autistic, but clearly heavily masking.
Well of course he's masking, he's hiding the fact that he's three kids in a trenchcoat
We don't say that.
I think you mean Judah from BJHM. AFAIK that show doesn't have a character named Jonah.
But Jonah from Ozark is also fairly autism coded although it's only ever directly implied once in the first episode when he's called r*tarded by his sister
