Have you read/heard about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? It's really great, and a little differently structured than a normal story. I really enjoyed it

The main character but many other characters are autistic and they deal with autism in various ways especially like the main character and how he saw himself versus the "normal" people in the world. I found him to be the most normal of all the cast and well worth emulating. The fact that the author got most of her information on how to deal with autistic people from her own son is admirable. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the protagonist's evolution.Speed of Dark.

It's not what most would expect. It is about the wife of Noah from the bible, however it is not really religious.
Anyway, the main character is on the spectrum, as well as having synesthesia.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
