The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

What is Christopher's coming of age dilemma and how can this be an insurmountable process for him?

This is based on Chapters 179 through 181. I am struggling with this response.

Chris is feeling all the same emotions of any teenager coming of age but he processes these emotions in a very different way. Chris has Asperger's Syndrome which means he tries to interpret emotions logically instead of the emotional intuition many "normal" people might poses. This makes an already confusing time even more stressful.
