Summarize how Christopher’s Autism or Asperger like behaviors led him down the life path taken in the book.

Description

For this reaction paper, read “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon.

• While reading this novel, note different life altering decisions Christopher (i.e., the main character) makes

and the precipitating events and/or outcomes of those choices.

For the final paper please include the following:

• Reflect on at least three different life altering decisions that the author describes in the book.

Make a connection between why Christopher (i.e., the main character) chose the path he did and how his Autism or Asperger’s directly affected his decisions.

• A comparison between what Christopher chose to do and what you think a neurotypical person might have done.

• Summarize how Christopher’s Autism or Asperger like behaviors led him down the life path taken in the book.

• Use the ideas behind Christopher’s choices to determine how an educator should manage a potentially similar situation where a student on the spectrum was struggling and needed help to cope.

In other words, synthesize how reading this book could help an educator provide a better educational experience for a student on the autism spectrum.
