The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida

3.0

Interesting peek into the mind of a young Japanese boy with autism. There's some controversy surrounding this book regarding to what extent the words are the author's own (some believe the alphabet grid he uses to construct sentences, along with translators, take too much away from any original thought). But if the critics are to be disbelieved, then it is indeed wondrous to hear a take on the world from a consciousness very different from my own.
