Here is a brief summary of the book 'The Curious Incedent of the dog in the night-time' in which the post below is based on. If you havent read the book and are interested in reading my text transformation then here's the summary;
"15 year old Christopher Boone is autistic. One day he discovers that his neighbour's dog has been murdered with a garden fork. He decides to launch an investigation and write a murder mystery about it. Christopher has great trouble coping with other people. He screams if he is touched and doesn't understand facial expressions. He uses math, for which he is very talented, as a coping mechanism.
During his investigation he discovers that his mother isn't dead as he thought but is living in London and has been writing him weekly letters which his father has been hiding. On learning that his father actually killed the dog Christopher is frightened and decides to embark on a terrifying train and underground journey to go and live with his mother in London. This award winning novel captures with humour and empathy the terrible plight of a troubled mind. "

Above is a link to a video I found on youtube which seems to describe AS syndrome well and watching this should help you understand a little more about how the character in the text transformation piece below behaves and has to live with. You do not have to watch this video or read the piece but maybe you'll like it if you did :)
