Download The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism AudioBook Free
You've never paid attention to a e book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old youngster with autism, this is a one-of-a-kind memoir that shows how an autistic brain thinks, seems, perceives, and responds with techniques few of us can imagine. Parents and members of the family who never thought they could get inside the top of these autistic loved one finally have a way to break through to the curious, refined, and sophisticated life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly create words, phrases, and thoughts that he's unable to speak aloud, Naoki answers even the most sensitive questions that people want to know. Questions such as: "Why do people who have autism talk so loudly and weirdly?" "Why will you fall into line your toy vehicles and blocks?" "The trend is to make eyes contact when you're conversing?" and "What's the reason why you jump?" (Naoki's answer: "When I'm jumping, it's as though my feelings are going upwards to the sky.") With disarming credibility and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights - in to the enigma of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of recollection - are so startling, so odd, and so powerful that you'll never look at the world the same manner again.
