    In the novel the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon and the 1988 movie Rain Man, there is an incorporation of main characters who face the challenge of an Autism Spectrum Disorder. While Christopher John Francis Boone, the main character in the novel the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, has Asperger’s Syndrome, Dustin Hoffman’s character, Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 movie Rain Man, has Savant Syndrome. Both Christopher and Raymond are not narrowly portrayed as being only defined by their disorder, but instead are shown in a way that proves they are more than just an autistic individual. Although Christopher and Raymond have different disorders pertaining to the general category of Autism, there is a multitude of correlations between the two syndromes and how it affects the lives of both characters.

According to Johnny L. Matson, Noha F. Minshawi, there are the following features that define the Asperger's syndrome: “social deficits, insistence on sameness, nonverbal language deficits, stereotypies, and lack of humor”. (Matson J. L., Minshawi N. F., 2006, p.17). People with this syndrome do not understand the unwritten “social rules” that most of people accept without thinking. It differs from autism primarily by the fact that speech and cognitive abilities generally remain intact.

    Because autistic people often have irregular speech and behavioral patterns, their peers often bully them. This makes school a dangerous place for their well-being. These individuals have little to no friends, and have to spend the majority of the week at a place where they are rejected or bullied by everyone but the teachers. “Recent research suggests that middle and high school youth who were bullied typically turn to their friends for support… (Waasdorp & Bradshaw, 2011). Yet children with ASDs typically have few friends to whom they can turn for support (Bauminger et al., 2003),” which shows the only place where these individuals can find support is with their family and with the teachers (Zablotsky, Bradshaw and Anderson).
