Was Patrick Bateman autistic? Just finished the novel and soon after the film. The way he talks about clothing and fashion in general makes me think that that was his special interest.

He probably had OCD. Too focused on repeating digits.

Usually only gay men are so invested in fashion
Probably because Ellis is gay but not very handsome

He's a parody of a 90s NY Yuppie.

I've never read the book, but here's an interpretation of the American Psycho film (tl;dw it animates Baudrillard's thoughts on objects powerful role in a capitalistic society)

being a psychopath is the best thing that can happen to you in this world and the book showed it.
