After finishing the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, I had one of those experiences where you suddenly encounter a topic everywhere you turn! Friends Lori and Janet both told me of their experiences with autistic students and family, and I it was as if this book had opened my eyes to what they were saying. You’ve got to love reading when it carries into your own everyday world! The author, Mark Haddon writes as if a 16 year old autistic boy named Christopher was writing the story. Fascinating perspective of what the world is like to someone who can’t relate to the expression on the human face, but can solve quadratic equations in his head. It’s a smart, quick read!
