The reason I jump / Naoki Higashida ; translated by K.A. Yoshida and David Mitchell ; with an introduction by David Mitchell. - London : Sceptre, 2013. - 180 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 21 cm
Written by Naoki Higishida when he was only 13, this remarkable book explains the often baffling behaviour of autistic children and shows the way they think and feel - such as about the people around them, time and beauty, noise, and themselves. Naoki abundantly proves that autistic people do possess imagination, humour and empathy, but also makes clear, with great poignancy, how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.
