If you want a wild ride, read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Not only will you reread the same sentence for over 40 minutes, it’ll never make a lick of sense. Ever.
Funny that you mention it, I was reading that book mere minutes ago! Always loved the movie as a kid and only recently got myself the first book. The style is so… odd, wacky, absurd, hilarious, that I just gotta keep reading
Just wait until you start reading The Restaurant at the end of the Universe, and he starts talking about the Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.
When I discovered this book as a teen (on recommendation from another friend on the spectrum), we were all certain Douglas Adams must be One of Us. It’s so off the wall and creative, full of observations of odd human behavior much like the observations that those of us on the spectrum tend to make. It’s like you can feel how he’s been “on the outside, looking in” the same way many of us have felt throughout our lives.
Not that any of us can claim Douglas Adams was on the spectrum for certain, but his relatable perspective certainly shined through in his writing.
Lmao, I literally just commented about the same book moments before scrolling down to see your comment. I love its absurdity, but having an audiobook read it aloud makes it so much easier to digest.

Yes! Yes to all of that!
