About this book

“The Reason I Jump” is an autobiography written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism. The book provides a unique perspective on what it’s like to live with autism.

His Different explanations for the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the undecipherability of memory are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again.
