the book opens with the mc finding and describing (not graphically) a dead dog. the dog didn't die naturally, it was killed, but you don't see that happening. it is a driving point in the book and mentioned fairly often

Apart from the dog dying, the scene in which the rat disappears (but thankfully doesn't die) in the Underground is wrenching.

Christopher talks about stranger danger briefly, describing it as "when a strange man offers you sweets or a ride in his car because he wants to do sex with you", he is not worried about this and it doesn't happen but it is worth n9ting imo

Protagonist is a stereotype of autistic people. He’s also ableist to higher support children which is implied to be an autistic trait but they’re completely separate and this conflation is harmful.

the main character/narrator has autism and is often verbally berated for it (more specifically for not understanding things, "throwing a fit", etc), sometimes even physically
