Christophers Aspergers.

People with aspergers find it difficult to tell people what they need, and how they feel. They find it difficult to meet other people and to make new friends. They find it difficult to understand what other people think, and how they feel. Not everyone with Asperger syndrome will find these things difficult. This is because everyone with Asperger syndrome is different.

 They can have good language skills. But some people with Asperger syndrome think that people always mean what they say. For example, someone with Asperger syndrome might not be able to tell when someone is joking, we can see this when christopher never seems to understand somebody is joking, and always seems to be serious about things. They may only talk about their favourite subject, in this case, Christopher only talks about what happened to wellington, or about Maths and space, because Christopher loves outer space and we can see him describing space like a genius throughout the play.

They may be very interested in some things. For example, they may be very interested in trains or the weather. They may want to take part in games or activities with other people. But they may not know how to do this. They may like to play the same game or do the same thing every day, for example the game Christopher plays in his room the game tetrus, and he really enjoys it. They can have a good IQ and may go to the same school as children who do not have a disability, Christopher mentions how much smarter he is than everybody else in the school, and calls everyone else stupid, he is clearly clever because he is taking his maths A level early, he is only 15! So this shows us how high his IQ must be. Your IQ is a number. Your IQ is a way of thinking about how much you can learn and what you can do for your age. They may be bullied at school because other children think they are different. Being bullied means being treated badly by other people.

 They may be very good at something. For example, they may be very good at maths, christopher is extremely amazing at maths, They may be very good at learning information, be good at concentrating on one activity. Concentrating means to focus your mind on one thing. They may find co-ordination difficult, like when Christopher counts right left right left when he walks. This is the reason Christopher is so brave to travel to London on his own.
