He knew little about the 15-year-old boy with a disability who made his book stand out, won the award, and became a bestseller. This book is called the Bizarre Case of Dogs at Night, and the boy is Christopher.
Christopher has autism. He can give his name to every country in the world and its capital. He has a memory of photography and is a genius in mathematics and science. Despite his extraordinary intelligence, he cannot think, understand, or relate to jokes. He also doesn't like the places where many people and people touch him.

They should be safe and prosperous and avoid anything they consider to be a threat to their safety. However, many factors, situations and demands of society make them uneasy, and the pressure they face makes them very worried in most cases. Unknowingly and unintentionally, children with autism are always afraid of something new or foreign to their understanding.
