The innocent mind truly has no filter, and it is completely up to the parents to reinforce the idea of what is wrong, and what is right. And with time, this is how a young boy would eventually learn that it isn’t correct to act in such a way to a figure of authority.

People diagnosed with a communication disorder can have straining social interactions causing a division between their world and the societal world. In Mark Haddon’s implausible novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time he writes about Christopher Boone, an autistic 15-year old boy, who accounts for the other percentage of autistic children that are highly intelligent, but have a hard time communicating it. Christopher is trying to solve the murder of his neighbor’s dog, but throughout his investigation he finds out more than he expected about secrets within his own family and even himself. Haddon creates an opportunity to view the disorder through Christopher’s eyes and the eyes of others; but most importantly he is determined to prove that his disorder will not limit his aspirations. The narrative explores the way in which Christopher’s mind operates in contrast to those without autism, how this mindset affects his interactions with others, and how these experiences led to his personal goals.

Christopher’s difficulty understanding metaphors, his passion on certain topics, and his computer-like ability with numbers, strongly suggest that Christopher has a mild form of autism. This condition has made him extremely gifted in math and science but severely underequipped socially, leading Christopher to frequent misunderstandings of other people, especially his father. As a result, he very much dislikes social interaction and avoids it when possible. Although Christopher does not mention autism by name anywhere in the novel, we see that he recognizes the ways he differs from most people and feels aware of these differences. He says, although most people enjoy chatting, he hates it because he finds it pointless.
Another example of how Bruno was avoiding thinking about what was happening around him was when he said, “I expect we’ll have to wait here till it eases off and then I’ll get to go home” (Boyne, page 212).

Page 107) Gregor basically is beginning self-alienation, he believes he is something hideous physically but mentally still holds onto his human conformist mindset.
