I knew that it meant "happy," like when I'm reading about the Apollo space missions, or when I am still awake at three or four in the morning and I can walk up and down the street and pretend that I am the only person in the world.
Christopher likes to be alone so he loved the idea of him being the only person left on the planet, and not being able to communicate with other people in the World.
“Then, when I've got a degree in Maths, or Physics, or Maths and Physics, I will be able to get a job and earn lots of money and I will be able to pay someone who can look after me and cook my meals and wash my clothes, or I will get a lady to marry me and be my wife and she can look after me so I can have company and not be on my own.”
Christopher prefers being alone whenever he possibly can. But look – he practically equates hiring a live-in maid with getting a wife! This makes it pretty clear that he really has no interest living with anyone, but knows he's unable of living alone.
“To be a good astronaut you have to be intelligent and I’m intelligent. You also have to understand how machines work and I’m good at understanding how machines work. You also have to be someone who would like being on their own in a tiny spacecraft thousands and thousands of miles away from the surface of the earth and not panic or get claustrophobia or homesick or insane. And I like really little spaces, so long as there is no one else in them with me. “
The quote shows that Christopher likes being alone, because in the quote he states that astronauts should be all alone in space and this is one of the reasons why he wants to an astronaut, good one indeed.Â
Christopher prefers to be alone, but he knows he is unable to take care of himself.
Christopher likes to be alone and prefers isolation but he is not capable of taking care of himself and also he because of his condition Asperger’s Syndrome, so he can’t really be independent. A person with Asperger’s Syndrome is bot able to do several things like talking to other people and communicate with them , discovering to new places, and not being able to use their imagination they only face and know reality. So Christopher needs to overcome his adversity to be independent and take care of him self for others to not control him.
Why is Christopher okay with touching animals, but not humans?
Christopher is okay with touching animals because he understands them by their body languages and feelings expressed that never change like the dog has only three ways to express him self so they have honesty and could never lie, that is how Christopher know. Human feelings are much more complex than animals so not all humans can understand each other because each person has a different point of view and other feelings that they are worried or dealing with, so human emotions can not be understood by everyone.
