In the debate scenes, the actors speak the words that Vidal and Buckley actually spoke.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was a hit novel for Mark Haddon with its analysis of the adventures of a 15 year old boy who has a disorder in the autism spectrum, akin to Asperger's. Haddon says the novel is not a manual on autism but a book about otherness and how society at large reacts to what is different.
