The theme of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon is that it is well worth it to learn who somebody really is. As a result of Christopher’s Autism, people don’t take the opportunity to get to know him or the reasons behind his actions. For example, Christopher has a strong aversion to the colors yellow and brown to the point where he won’t eat anything of those colors. “Mrs. Forbes said that hating yellow and brown is just being silly.” (Haddon 85) However, he actually has very valid reasons to dislike them. Specifically, yellow corresponds to Yellow Fever and brown to the color of dirt. His Autism just intensifies sensory issues, such as his disgust toward these colors.
