From the book “The curious incident of the dog in the night time”, how did Christopher’s autism help in solving the mystery of the murdered dog Wellington?

That’s a poorly framed question by whoever your teacher is, since from what I remember, Ed confesses to killing Wellington rather than Christopher discovering it himself, but it is Christopher’s observational skills (which are arguably a product of his autism) that prompts him to discover the letters about his mom, which in turn prompts Ed to confess to everything.
