This book, titled “The Reason I Jump,” is a vital resource for those who are seeking to understand children who are on the lower end of the autism spectrum, and I enjoyed reading it very much. However, I have recently read a book where a 13-year-old boy with autism describes the thought processes and emotions that result in his autistic traits. I write these blog entries for similar reasons, and I appreciate the opportunity to tell family members and professionals about my experiences so that they can learn from them.
It is vital that we tell others how we are feeling and what we are thinking, so that the community can understand our needs. The book also features eleven original illustrations, inspired by Naoki's words, by the artistic duo Kai and Sunny.Whenever I sit down to write a new blog entry, I mentally acknowledge the importance of self-advocacy in the lives of people with autism. It gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective. David Mitchell and his wife have translated Naoki's book so that it might help others dealing with autism and generally illuminate a little-understood condition. Abundantly proving that people with autism do possess imagination, humour and empathy, he also makes clear how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding. He also shows the way he thinks and feels about his world - other people, nature, time and beauty, and himself.
Using a question and answer format, Naoki explains things like why he talks loudly or repeats the same questions, what causes him to have panic attacks, and why he likes to jump. Written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, this remarkable book provides rare insight into the often baffling behaviour of autistic children.
