Beschreibung

<p><b>The internationally bestselling account of life as a child with autism</b><br><b>A <i>Sunday Times</i> and <i>New York Times</i> bestseller</b><br><b>Now an award-winning documentary film</b><br><b>Published in over 30 languages</b></p><p><b>'It will stretch your vision of what it is to be human' Andrew Solomon, <i>The Times</i></b></p><p>What is it like to have autism? How can we know what a person - especially a child - with autism is thinking and feeling?</p><p>This groundbreaking book, written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, provides some answers. Severely autistic and non-verbal, Naoki learnt to communicate by using a 'cardboard keyboard' - and what he has to say gives a rare insight into an autistically-wired mind. He explains behaviour he's aware can be baffling such as why he likes to jump and why some people with autism dislike being touched; he describes how he perceives and navigates the world, sharing his thoughts and feelings about time, life, beauty and nature; and he offers an unforgettable short story. Proving that people with autism do not lack imagination, humour or empathy, THE REASON I JUMP made a major impact on its publication.</p><p>A documentary film based on the book received its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. It won the festival's Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary, then further awards at the Vancouver, Denver and Valladolid International Film Festivals before its global release.</p><p>The book includes eleven original illustrations inspired by Naoki's words, by the artistic duo Kai and Sunny.</p>
