The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time.

I've just finished reading this book.

        The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time.
                By Mark Haddon.

It was a really good book , it is based on a young person aged 15 with Asperger's Syndrome, having to deal with everyday living.

Having had many riders with Asperger's and Autism over the time teaching RDA, I can relate to many of the traits described in the book.

It is a murder mystery in a completely different context to others. I can recommend it, not only as a good novel to read, as an excellent insight to the issues faced by people with Asperger's / autism, coping in the society in which they find themselves in.

If you ever get the chance to  read this book then do, you wont regret it, you never know you just might learn something. Even if it is that everyone has something that they can offer in their own way.
