The Reason I Jump (2016)

The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida ​is a book written by a 13 years old boy with Autism. It's a precious book because we can understand Autism from the words of a severe autism patient. 

Naoki uses the simplest of languages explaining the inner world of an autistic child. He tells that his memory is not in the order of time, so you will hear him talking about things randomly. He also explains the reason he keeps asking the same question is that he forgets thing so quickly while he wants to remember. 

​The book tells us that we should never understand others from your own point of view.
