I read the Murderbot Diaries series of books, and the main character, a robot, seems to have major ADHD… (www.goodreads.com)

Are there any other books where the main character seems to be neurospicy?

Also I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes SciFi. The books are really short so easy to finish even for slow readers or “need to read that page 5 times” readers. And audiobooks exist too!

I can't be convinced that the main character of Lucky Wander Boy isn't autistic, considering the obsessions he has and the ritual he performs at one point.

Great, but very weird book about a writer who likes retro video games trying to find an arcade machine of his youth that may even have mystical powers.
