OK Bluesky: Suggest some fiction for a 17-year-old kid who doesn't read a ton of fiction. Autistic authors or non-stereotyped autistic characters would be especially appreciated.

Anything by Janet Chambers.

can you tell us what sort of non-fiction interests this kid has?

I really enjoyed www.eoincolfer.com/artemis-fowl It doesn't seem like an autistic oriented book at first but it ends up being one indirectly. It uses a rich kid background as an excuse to explore their obession on faries. Interesting fusion of science + fantasy.
