1. Why Adora and the Distance Is a True Father's Day Gift IGN: The writer wanted the story to be one that people who have no experience dealing with autism could enjoy on its own, while still offering familiar echoes for those readers for whom it is a constant in their lives. There are mentions of Adora’s regimented daily life - “Every day is the same, more or less,” says the narrator at one point. There are allusions to matching therapies, which are used in autism treatments, as well as other signals about common traits in people on the spectrum.
