The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon. Its title refers to an observation by the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes (created by Arthur Conan Doyle) in the short story "The Adventure of Silver Blaze". Haddon and The Curious Incident won the Whitbread Book Awards for Best Novel and Book of the Year,[2] the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book,[3] and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize.[4] Unusually, it was published simultaneously in separate editions for adults and children.[5]
The novel is narrated in the first-person by Christopher John Francis Boone, a year-old boy who is described as "a mathematician with some behavioural difficulties" living in Swindon, Wiltshire.

However, my purpose here isn’t to discuss whether Christopher is really autistic, or to give an overall cr

In this piece, Serena Shim, sister of someone on the spectrum, discusses the novel that caused so much controversy in the autism community.
Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a detective story about fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone. It received many awards as well as criticism by the autism community for its portrayal of someone with Asperger’s Syndrome.
Christopher is presented as a mathematical genius who has trouble interpreting social situations and does not understand metaphors. When a dog is killed in his neighborhood, Christopher sets out to solve the mystery. As he becomes more involved with the murder case, he ends up discovering the truth about his own life and family. His journey in looking for the dog’s murderer soon becomes a search for his mother.
Even though this novel does not directly reference autism, the book’s back cover originally described Christopher as someone with Asperger’s. Mark Haddon also admitted on a blog post that he did not do any research on autism, which is why there has been so much criticism towards the book. This may not have been the first fiction piec
