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?

Wait why Gustavo? I think he’s just masking as an oppressed gay (like all oppressed minorities do even if homosexuality doesn’t hugely affect his behavior), 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.
