Our review regarding the handling of the main character's autism can be found on the Disability in Kidlit website.
#
The main character has an unspecified condition that's widely interpreted as autism (although the author has stated it's not). Many in the autism community dislike the portrayal of the main character's condition, finding it exaggerated and unrealistic.
Here's an article about the novel and the author's research. It sharply distinguishes between Asperger's and autism, but is a relevant read aside from that. It's written by the non-autistic father of an autistic child, but does quote some autistic people: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-ol...
