5. I do not agree with Ian’s third post. Although Christopher may not understand jokes, he can still succeed in the academic aspect of university. Christopher does have a basic understanding of metaphors, actually, because he explains what they are in the very beginning of the novel. Yes, autism will hinder Christopher’s ability to live a normal life, but not completely wreck everything.
6. I completely agree with Stephanie’s third post. I hadn't considered the fact that Christopher would need to go to a university near home. Christopher’s parents will most likely have a big say in the location of the university, and will help choose the courses that will prepare Christopher for a real job. If Christopher took the most advanced math course as intended, he would be challenged, but would not help with getting a job.
