The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida | Conversation Starters
“To make myself understood, it’s like I have to speak in an unknown foreign language, every minute, every day,” Naoki Higashida explains. He honestly answers questions like: “Why do you repeat what others tell you? Why don’t you look at people’s eyes when you talk to them? Why are you always alone? Why do you talk so loudly? Why do you jump?” He says even if they don’t appear to remember or learn from mistakes, they actually do, although they could really be slow in the process. Higashida’s primary message in this book is for people not to give up on individuals like him.
The Reason I Jump is a New York Times bestseller and is named one of the best books of the year by The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Bookish, and Bloomberg Business. It was named a finalist for the Books for a Better Life First Book Award.
