The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

Thanks, I hate it!
The author claims that he didn't intentionally write the main character to be autistic but I think he's just trying to avoid being held accountable for writing an autistic character without doing proper research. Only 10 pages in and it's a whole mess of autism stereotypes.
Implied-autism and autistic coded characters aren't inherently bad. I just think this book in particular is poorly written, as far as I read.
