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?
Parker from Leverage , even more so in Leverage: Redemption
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 (maybe), Gale and Lydia from Breaking Bad
- Abed from Community

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.
