The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time opens Goodreads in a new tab

Christopher Boone is a mathematician with some behavioural difficulties. He knows a great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth, and hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey that will turn his whole world upside down.
