Christopher, who is 15, has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. His life revolves around literal meaning, an incapablilty of lying, and a desire to feel small and safe. His need to diappear is all important at times of stress, which can be sparked by a change in schedule or even in the tone of a voice.

Christopher is a math savant; he can calculate in his head, he's obsessive compulsive, and learns solely with visuals. He believes what he hears, and he doesn't understand the deceit of others because he's incapable of deceit.

whenever christopher has to deal with highly emotional situations,he shut down. he retreat to a''safe''place.
