Boy howdy, do I have a book suggestion for you....
Edit: I'm surprised how many people are not familiar with Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Not as ground breaking as Neuromancer but his biggest commercial/critical success.
You're surprised that a novel from 20 years ago isn't what everyone thought of on a post about neurodivergence?

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.
Is it Mein Kampf? Don't say Mein Kampf.
Michael Parenti, Inventing Reality?
