“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” takes us on a journey through 15-year-old Christopher’s mind as he solves a murder mystery. We learn from Christopher, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, that there are many ways to interpret the world. In this one-time workshop, we’ll take part in the investigation by viewing information from Christopher’s point of view. Join us as we read a few chapters & talk observation skills, logic, and life! Maybe we’ll even solve the murder mystery! All participants receive a copy of the novel.
