I'm just curious what fiction books have been written about people with Autism or Aspergers?

I know the following books have characters with Autism and Aspergers:

The Summer Of Swans
Mockingbird

Are there any others?

Recent sci-fi cyberpunk novel "Ready Player One" - Ernest Cline
An autistic internet mogul realises he is dying and stashes the keys to his will and fortune in a massively multiplayer online world. A feeding frenzy explodes online between gamers and a ruthless corporation, who are all made into honorary autistics as they try to decipher the clues hidden away in the mogul's obsessive files of 70's and 80's culture. IMHO more entertaining than it should've been.

My parents and I read it. My parents say I resemble Christopher but I do not think so. I think my father resembles Christopher more.
