Michael, 

    Good work on your paper on "the curious incident," although I'm not 
  quite sure that your title "Boone Theorem" works(!)  I'm glad that you 
  feel you have come to understand Christopher, because crossing that border 
  of empathy is one of the things we hoped everyone would experience in 
  reading this book.  

    The major comments I have are that your first paragraph could be streamlined
  and polished to make your points more concisely and forcefully.  The first 
  sentence could be rearranged to read more smoothly like this:  "In his 
  thoughtful and insightful novel about a young boy named Christopher, Mark 
  Haddon does his best to make us understand a truly different sort of mind."  
  Note I added the "make us" because I think that's what you really meant.
  Of course, Haddon had to come to understand that mind too, but it seems
  to me that that process happened before and during the writing of the novel.
  If you really wanted to focus on how Haddon the author had to come to that
  understanding, then something like:  "In writing his thoughtful and insightful
  novel about a young boy named Christopher, Mark Haddon did his best to 
  understand a truly different sort of mind"  would also work.  

     The second sentence is wordy because of the "It is through ... " and the 
  two occurrences of Christopher's name.  That sentence also overlaps a lot 
  of what you are saying in the third sentence.  You could combine and streamline 
  those two sentences to something like this: "Because the story is told 
  from Christopher's perspective, even though his mind might seem like an 
  unsolvable math problem, the the reader is able to get a glimpse of the 
  way that mind works."
  
     The rest of the opening paragraph is better, and I think you 
  hit your stride even more in the following sections of the paper.  

  One comment: on page 2, you seem to assume that the reader of Haddon's
  book will always be a "neuronormal" person.  But in fact I think 
  the book has been read and appreciated by many people with forms
  of autism too.   

  A small comment:  a "stimulant" (page 2) is really a type of drug that
  improves physical or mental functions.  A "stimulus" is a more general
  thing or event that evokes a specific reaction.  You want "stimulus"
  there.
