Why doesn’t Haddon identify Christopher as autistic? Christopher explains that he attends a school for children with special needs and describes several “Behavioral Problems” (Haddon 46-47) he has, such as not liking to be touched and not smiling. How do the contexts of special education and disability studies shape the way readers understand the novel? What attitudes toward special education do you encounter in the novel? To what extent does the novel (or could the novel) participate in conversations about disability studies, disability rights advocacy, ableism, and/or autism spectrum disorder?

Haddson does not identify Cristopher as autistic to allow readers with other types of syndrome to identify with him, and so that readers without any syndrome will not stigmatize him with a label.

Based on this, we can answer the above questions in the following way.

  • The context between special education and what is known about this type of disability shows the reader that this type of education is very important for autistic people and people with other problems.
  • That's because this type of education allows these people to receive quality instruction that makes all the difference in their lives, as well as improving their perception and independence.
  • This allows for people with positive attitudes to exist with this type of education, even though prejudice and intolerance are still high.

These and other discussions found in the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" written by Mark Haddon, allow this book to be used in discussions and reflections on people with disabilities such as autism, as it shows how to diagnose these problems is complicated and how is the life of people who have to live with it.
