math problems. Christopher implements these skills throughout his journey from Swindon to London. Once Christopher arrives at the train station he feels sick and wants to fall he overcomes this by covering his ears so he can navigate through the station.

Finally, Christopher likes to use math problems. Christopher loves to do math or science because they both have logic and order, especially prime numbers. Boarding the train to London Christopher sits down and thinks about a math problem he thinks about the problem to help him focus his mind on something else rather than the people around him.
