The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida
5.0
Told in Q&A format with some short stories sprinkled in between, The Reason I Jump, provides invaluable insight into the life of a teenager named Noaki with autism. Of course, autism is not a monolith, but I have learned SO MUCH from this little but mighty book, and I will continue to reread and reference back to it. Between answering the faqs, Noaki reminds the reader, “don’t give up on us.”
Also, I know I mention anecdotes from my middle schoolers often in my reviews, but I have to share that after a student finished this book, they left it on my desk with a post it note that read, “I now have an explanation for what’s going on in my head.”
