*The Poisonwood Bible* by Barbara Kingslover. The story is told through the voice of five women (mother and four daughters) one of whom could be described as such. Great book.

**Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine** by Gail Honeyman
the character Adah in the poisonwood bible by Barbara Kingsolver has hemiplegia with some associated verbal (and maybe social?) neurodivergencies.
idk how medically accurate kingsolver’s left-brain//right-brain concepts are.

Miss Smilla’s feeling for Snow – Peter Hoeg
Is it a mystery novel with literary style or a literary novel which uses the conventions of the mystery novel. Either way it is a beautiful book. I don’t know if Smilla is explicitly autistic but she is so detail orientated and overwhelmed by city life in Copenhagen that it is difficult to imagine that she neurotypical.
