Quote 1: And I said, "Is that the A-to-Z?" and I pointed at the book.
And he said, "No, it's a sodding crocodile."
And I said, "Is that the A-to-Z?" because it wasn't a crocodile and I thought I had heard wrong because of his accent.
And he said, "Yes, it's the A-to-Z."

Quote 2: This will not be a funny book. I cannot tell jokes because I do not understand them.

Quote 3: "And the lady said to me, "Take the tube to Willesden Junction, honey. Or Willesden Green. Got to be near there somewhere."

And I said, "What sort of tube?"

And she said, "Are you for real?" "

Explanation:

People judge Christopher because they do not understand how his brain works or how he has Aspergers. As in the first quote the shop owner was using sarcasm which Christopher  doesn't understand. So he started to judge him and treat him rudely as a result.

There is more to people than meets the eye

Quote 1:  "I know all the countries of the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7,507"

Quote 2: "Then the police arrived. I like the police. They have uniforms and numbers and you know what they are meant to be doing."

Quote 3:

The saying "There is more to people than meets the eye" is actually a theme in The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime. This can be seen in the first quote above. The quote is Christopher showing the reader that he has incredible knowelgde, but because he has Aspergers, people regard him as stupid and dumb.
The second quote implies that Christopher has trouble socialising with people that don't "know what they are doing", implying that he looks normal on the outside but

Quote #1: "I strongly advise you to get into the back of the police car because if you try any of that monkey-business again, you little shit, I will seriously lose my rag."

Quote #2: "You are a bloody handful, you are. Jeez"

Quote #3: "Mad as a fucking hatter. Jesus"

Explanation:
The policeman does not know about Asperger's syndrome and as a result is unkind. He calls Christopher a "little shit" because he had hit him, and his anger and ignorance causes him to start calling Christopher names. The policeman obviously thinks that Christopher is a regular child and because of this, treats him as such; however, due to this misunderstanding we can see that if he had known some common knowledge of Asperger's he might have approached the situation differently.
