The Curious Incidents of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

This book is a fictional account of an autistic 15-year-old boy living in Swindon, England. It is the year 1998 (though it never directly says so in the book). Christopher Boone is a mathematical genius who has no understanding of human emotions. The book is written from Christopher's point of view, because according to the story the book was written by Christopher. This book is a realistic insight into the complications disabled people and the people around them have.
