Christopher Boone, high-functioning autistic narrator of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, demonstrates his enlightenment:

“[W]hen we look at things we think we’re just looking out of our eyes like we’re looking out of little windows and there’s a person inside our head, but we’re not. We’re looking at a screen inside our heads, like a computer screen (116).”

“[F]eelings are just having a picture on the screen in your head of what is going to happen tomorrow or next year, or what might have happened instead of what did happen… (119).”
