The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism
by Naoki Higashida
I share some of the skepticism regarding this book that other reviewers have mentioned. It doesn't feel like the language of a thirteen year old, though that may have to do with the language from the translation. Another thing that bothered me some was how the questions and answers spoke for all people on the autistic spectrum. This might be a language translation issue as well, or just the author being young.
With those caveats, I rather enjoyed reading the book and found that I identified with some aspects as well. Worth a read, while exercising a healthy dose of skepticism and with the knowledge that not everyone on the autistic spectrum can be defined with the answers provided.
