• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was written by Mark Haddon and published early 2000s.  
• Told from the perspective of Christopher Boone > 15 years old.

Being Neurodivergent

• Brain  processes information differently
• Autism is a spectrum condition.
•  All autistic people share certain difficulties.
• But there can be more or fewer challenges with any of these. 
•  Need different levels of support. 
• All people on the autism spectrum learn and develop. 
•  The right support helps people to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing.

Language/point of view

• First-person narrative- the protagonist  Christopher, tells the story.
•  We  see how Christopher thinks and how he interprets different events.
•  Logic rather than emotion
• Matter-of-fact quality.
•  Tells events in order - many conjunctions. E.g. 'and' and 'then'.
• He dislikes detailed descriptions,. 
•  Straightforward, sometimes with drawings or diagrams.
