Connor Brooks, Post 3
Christopher has more than proved he is an intelligent individual in the book. However, I have a feeling that later in life, whether it’s one year or ten years, Christopher is, unfortunately, going to face some prejudices due to his autism. In the last few paragraphs of the book, Christopher is summing up what he plans on accomplishing in his life. One aspect in particular is that he plans on going to a university and becoming a scientist. Those of us that have read the book understand how Christopher thinks and feels and know that he could do it. Unfortunately, not many people would hire an autistic person to work with dangerous chemicals and expensive lab equipment. It seems to me Christopher will have work harder than others to prove himself.

OK but will hard work be enough?? I like your thought about his not being trusted in a lab setting, but how will he actually get there??
