Adult Autism Books

Just to be clear, do you mean 'characters showing unacknowledged autistic traits', like Sherlock Holmes? Also, by adult, do you mean adult in the sense of mortgages and income tax, or adult in the sense of sexual?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I mean ‘characters showing unacknowledged autistic traits.’

In terms of adult, I specifically mean adult classic texts (i.e. not children’s books). I am particularly looking for female characters who are portrayed as being ‘mad’ but are likely autistic.
