What unique about the way Christopher views the world?how it is similar or different to the way you view the world? The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime

Christopher has a rare condition. He has difficulty understanding the people, their common behavior and the new environment. Due to his condition, he sees the world in a different perspective. Everything has to be scientifically and logically correct, which is not the case for a me, considering myself as a average normal person of the society.

For him, the daily aspects of life may seem weird and meaningless, which is not the case for me. He hates the colors yellow and brown. He cannot understand common phrase I used in daily language like "He is the apple of my eye". I often use such phrases because I know the meaning behind it, but I haven't ever thought what it literally means. If I think that way, I come to realize that it makes no sense, which is the case for Christopher. He takes everything in the literally meaning. Similarly, he couldn't understand why his father used to put on pants before socks. For me, or any other normal person, we may never think of it, because such things have become a part of our routine, which we are following without even thinking.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
