Katie, 

   Your analysis of the ways Christopher's mind works and the differences
   he shows from "neuronormal" people is very good.  You make some
   excellent points about his literal-mindedness and his inability to 
   grasp metaphors.  

   The way you point out that he shies away from complexity in people, but 
   loves a different sort of complexity in mathematical problems is also
   very interesting.  I think that comes down to the fact that however
   complex the mathematics is, it still follows definite rules of the 
   sort that he just "gets" and can reason with.  
   
   When Christopher says "I am happy," the fact that he makes such an
   uncharacteristically simple statement shows that he can experience
   emotion.  But we also see that he is perhaps unwilling to go farther 
   (to add "very," or add adjectives), probably because he's not quite 
   certain that the emotion he feels is the same as the emotion others 
   feel when they use that word.  One can almost see him taking out the 
   paper with the cartoons of faces, comparing them with how he  
   feels at the moment, and settling on "happy," no more and no less. 

   Specific comments:

   (1)  Bottom of page 1: In "... he sees the term people’s business as ... "
        it would be good to put the "people's business" in quotation 
        marks again because it comes directly from the quotation from
        the book to which you are referring. 

   (2)  Top of page 3:  The sentence "Although he is unable to express himself 
        in traditional emotions, Christopher offers strikingly profound moments
        of insight that a reader can relate to and develop a new prospective from." 
        is a bit "clunky" because of the way you are putting several things
        together in a relatively complicated way.  How about splitting this
        into two sentences with a period after the "insight".  Then you 
        could make the rest into a free-standing sentence that is simpler
        than your relative clause:  "Readers can relate to these and find
        new perspectives in them."  (By the way, didn't you mean "perspective"
        not "prospective"?  Your word means "expected in the future".)

   (3)  Top of page 4:  " ... in holding cell ... " -- missing "the"
        Also, "... instead he thinks logically how the cell “nice” ... "
        I think you wanted "is" in there before the "nice".

   (4)  In your last paragraph, "... gain a broader world perspective ... "
        doesn't add much.  It would be fine to end the sentence 
        with " ... understand different kinds of minds."
