Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically 
gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by 
parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes 
everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to 
sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.  Amazon.com

(For me reading this novel provided the opportunity to be inside the 
skin of a teenager with autism.  I found the experience both moving 
and comfortable.   Sylvia)
