Autism

The film Autism: The Musical helped me understand the character Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. When I first read the book I did not understand why Christopher acted the way he did. Before watching the film I thought that Christopher was the only kid that ever had the disease. I also never understood how smart he was in school and how he could never understand human emotions. The film introduced many different kids who also had Autism. Henry a character from the film is very smart and he likes dinosores. Henry knows everthing about Dinosores. Henry and Christopher are very smilar. They both are very smart and they both live in their own world. Neal another character from the film also has Austim. He doesnt understand human emotions. He hits other kids. He acts out when he is under stress. Neal has problem understanding what others what from him. Nean and christopher are very smilar because Chrisopher also acts out under stress. For example when he went to the mall with his mom, he broke things and wetted his pants. Parents that have kids that are Autistic also feel stressed out like Chrisophers parents. Christopher's mom was really stressed out when chrisopher wetted his pants at the mall. Wyatt another character from the film also has Austim. Lexi a character from the films mothers went under depression. She felt very stresssful because of her daughters symptoms. Wyatt a character from the film hates people who bullie him. He also hates people who live in their own world. He believes that he lives in his own and he tries not to but he cant help it.
