Survival Guide for Asperger's patients
Survival Guide: Asperger's Syndrome
This is a link to a book written by a man named Marc Segar. Segar has Asperger's Syndrome, and wrote this book as a guide to all the "unwritten rules" of society.
Many of these rules would apply to Christopher in various instances throughout the book. For example, the section on body language would probably help Christopher understand a bit more about why he cannot seem to process people's facial reactions. He complains that they move too quickly, but also says that he has a photographic memory. In hindsight he may know what they were expressing, but not at the moment when he could react to the expressions.
Peruse this source and think about Christopher--would reading this source change Christopher's interactions with the rest of the world? How?
