I have an issue with fiction. I was taught in school to not think of the protagonist as the author. However, it seems that in most works of fiction, the work is highly autobiographical.

How does one read fiction, knowing that the author is clearly writing about themselves, yet not picture the author in the story?

any autobiographical work has an unreliable narrator.
