Flowers for Algernon hits different for this – Charlie starts out genuinely struggling but you root for him the whole time. Also maybe try Of Mice and Men, Lennie is slow but has such a good heart that you can’t help but love him

The Maid by Nita Prose might work. The main character is on the spectrum so misses a lot social cues. Yeah, she’s pretty bright but not like some Rain Man bullshit.
