The No. 1 Sunday Times and international bestseller by Naoki Higashida, which depicts the life of a child with autism, is now also an award-winning documentary. What does it mean to have autism? How can we understand what a person with autism thinks and feels? The groundbreaking book, written by Naoki Higashida at just thirteen, provides some answers. Severely autistic and non-verbal, Naoki learned to communicate using a "cardboard keyboard," and what he has to say offers a rare insight into an autism-connected mind. He explains behaviors that he knows may be confusing, such as why he likes to jump and why some people with autism do not like contact. He describes how he perceives and navigates the world, shares his thoughts and feelings about time, life, beauty, and nature, and offers an unforgettable short story. He proves that people with autism are not devoid of imagination, humor, or empathy. THE REASON I JUMP made a significant impression upon its publication in English and has been published in over thirty languages. In 2020, the documentary based on the book premiered globally at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary, as well as other awards in international film competitions. The book includes eleven original illustrations inspired by Naoki's words.
