I learned about this book by informing a man who works as a therapist about the book I had read before it, Elanor Oliphant. I had mentioned something about her retarded oblivious prusumptious personality, and he said that I would enjoy TCIOTDITNT (horrible title). It is a short book with a very good premise. You follow an autistic boy who slowly unravals the world of emotional drama arround him with the only tool he has, pragmatic rationality.

Stupid Critism: The book does not present an accurate depiction of autism. Firstly, the author clearly states that he has never ever researched autism, and in what was likley an attempt to avoid this accusation in the first place, autism is not mentioned once in the book itself. It is a work of naritive fiction, and has a right to conjur up any character, however unrealistic the reader may percive them to be. The author himself said that all that matere, was that christopher was real to him.
