Christopher is a very shy boy and does not like talking to people he does not know. He tries to avoid small talk with strangers and he is very uncomfortable around them. He does not understand sarcasm or non-verbal communication, which means he does not understand emotions or different facial expressions. He has to use a chart made up of different pictures of faces with a different expression on each one to help him understand the meaning of each facial expression. That chart was made for him by his mentor at school, Siobhan. He still has a struggle with the chart because the picture doesn’t always match the actual faces. He also loves to be alone. He likes to stay in his bedroom all day alone instead of hanging out with a friend or family
