Book Recommendation: A Powerful Perspective on Autism

If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of autism, “The Reason I Jump” by Naoki Higashida is a must-read. Written by a 13-year-old boy with autism, this book offers a rare and profound insight into the mind of someone on the spectrum.

Through a series of Q&A-style chapters, Naoki answers common questions about autism with honesty and clarity, helping readers see the world through his eyes. His words challenge stereotypes and provide a moving reminder of the resilience, creativity, and humanity of individuals with autism.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply curious, The Reason I Jump will leave you with a greater appreciation for neurodiversity. It’s a book that changed my perspective, and I hope it does the same for you.
