Currently where i'm at in the novel of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time Christopher reveals his surprising memory skills and how is memory is so great that it is like a video player. He shares how he can roll his memory back to any point in the past time which he relates to a dvd in the sense that he can remember any exact time in the past just like how a DvD can rewind back to any past time in the movie. Among this special ability of Christopher's there are also many special needs that christopher has as well. One of Christopher's special problems is his complete disgust for the colors yellow and brown. The reason for Christopher's disgust of the color yellow is because there are many food items of the color yellow that make him feel sick and catch a fever such as custard, bananas, sweet corn, and also yellow flowers. The reason Christopher doesn't like the color brown is because its the color of dirt, poo, and gravy which are all things that he hates as well. The following events that i have shared with you from the novel display many weird and strange characteristics that autistic people posses that are some times hard to understand for people who do not have the disorder. Autistic people just have a little different way of living their life compared to an average person because they are socially inept of many social skills an average person posses that they do not which makes it very hard for them.

Christopher has now stated that this is a murder mystery novel. HEhas been instructed to do something like this by his counselor Siobhan at school who helps him work through every day social problems and dissorders that he faces that every day people wouldnt even have thought to exist because they are so unique and obserd. I also learned that christopher usually only likes reading books about math and science which are his two major strengths in school, and that he doesnt like other novels simply for the fact that he doesnt undderstand many of the things the characters day because of his in ability to understand peoples emotions and feelings. After reading on through the novel I soon hit chapter 19 which was a very aside chapter that aparently has nothing to do with the plot. Christopher tells us that book chapters are labeled with cardinal numbers, so he is going to use prime numbers in his murder mystery novel solely for the fact that he likes prime numbers much better than cardinal numbers. He then showed us a chart displayed in the book for determining prime numbers and states that no one had yet to figure out a simple formula for identifying very large prime numbers. Christopher then tells us that prime numbers are considered military material in the U.S because they are used in codes and you have to notify the CIA if you find one. If you find a prime number more than 100 digits long the CIA will buy it from you for $10000. In these last few chapters i have learned much more about autism and the way autisctic people work and see the world. It has made more aware of how hard it is for people to live with autism and new methods on ways to work with people who ahve autism.

after reading the first portion of The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time i have already made many text to self connections between the main charactar and my cousin.Christopher Boone is a 15 year old boy with autism, and my cousin christopher norman was a 16 year old boy with autism who past a way a few years ago. Some of the connections i have made between Christophor Boone and my cousin is they both had problems with comprehending the emotions of other people which made it very difficult and caused many problems for the both of them. At the begining of the novel when christopher discoveries Wellington, a poodle who has been mysteriosly murdered he notices a a fork gouged into the side of the dog. He then aproaches the dead poodle and pulls the fork out of the dead poodle and before you know it blood was spewing out of the dog and next thing you know Mr. Shears comes out yelling after he saw all this happening and accuses Christopher of Murdering his dog. Christopher doesn't even know how to react so he runs away, rolls up into a ball and closes his eys scared as can be. This is an example of how christophers autism and not knowing how to read other poeples emotions effected him in the novel.
