Hey!
So there's a simile ''I think prime numbers are like life''
I used this quote as well in my essay, I say that it ''demonstrates a simple comparison that allows Christopher to express his feelings of the world and others in a unique way, one which creates a feeling of empathy within the responder as they uncover the truth to his disability.''
Hope this helps!

The language used here is definitely colloquial, intended to attract a reader's attention instead of throwing in jargon related to mathematical concepts.
"what is left when you have taken all the patterns away", in this case "taken" and "patterns" can be connotations to disregarding and abandoning any other structured and discovered mathematical concepts, or patterns within sequences.
"prime numbers are like life" would be a simile, that's kinda obvious.
"spent all your time thinking about them", can be an exaggeration/hyperbole.
