I've loved this book for decades. Read it multiple times. Thinking about it a bit, and I believe the Mc is autism coded.

Anyone else read this and agree?

Anyone have examples of this in other areas?

I think you mean Judah from BJHM. AFAIK that show doesn't have a character named Jonah.

But Jonah from Ozark is also fairly autism coded although it's only ever directly implied once in the first episode when he's called r*tarded by his sister
