Naoki Higashida

“One of the most remarkable books I’ve ever read. It’s truly moving, eye-opening, incredibly vivid.”—Jon Stewart, The Daily ShowNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYNPR • The Wall Street Journal • Bloomberg Business • BookishFINALIST FOR THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE FIRST BOOK AWARD • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERYou’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump . Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such “Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?” “Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?” “Why don’t you make eye contact when you’re talking?” and “What’s the reason you jump?” (Naoki’s “When I’m jumping, it’s as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.”) With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights—into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory—are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. In his introduction, bestselling novelist David Mitchell writes that Naoki’s words allowed him to feel, for the first time, as if his own autistic child was explaining what was happening in his mind. “It is no exaggeration to say that The Reason I Jump allowed me to round a corner in our relationship.” This translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA Yoshida, so they’d be able to share that feeling with friends, the wider autism community, and beyond. Naoki’s book, in its beauty, truthfulness, and simplicity, is a gift to be shared.Praise for The Reason I Jump“This is an intimate book, one that brings readers right into an autistic mind.” — Chicago Tribune (Editor’s Choice)“Amazing times a million.” —Whoopi Goldberg, People“ The Reason I Jump is a Rosetta stone. . . . This book takes about ninety minutes to read, and it will stretch your vision of what it is to be human.” —Andrew Solomon, The Times (U.K.)“Extraordinary, moving, and jeweled with epiphanies.” —The Boston Globe “Small but profound . . . [Higashida’s] startling, moving insights offer a rare look inside the autistic mind.” — Parade

Naoki Higashida was only thirteen when he wrote The Reason I Jump, a revelatory account of autism from the inside by a nonverbal Japanese child, which became an international success.Now he shares his thoughts and experiences as a twenty-four-year-old man living each day with severe autism. In short, powerful chapters, Higashida explores school memories, family relationships, the exhilaration of travel, and the difficulties of speech. He also allows readers to experience profound moments we take for granted, like the thought-steps necessary for him to register that it's raining outside. Acutely aware of how strange his behavior can appear to others, he aims throughout to foster a better understanding of autism and to encourage society to see people with disabilities as people, not as problems.With an introduction by bestselling novelist David Mitchell, Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 also includes a dreamlike short story Higashida wrote especially for this edition. Both moving and of practical use, this book opens a window into the mind of an inspiring young man who meets every challenge with tenacity and good humor. However often he falls down, he always gets back up.

Neden mi Zipliyorum? - On Üc Yasindaki Otizmli Bir Cocugun Kaleminden

Written by Naoki Higishida when he was only 13, this remarkable book explains the often baffling behaviour of autistic children and shows the way they think and feel - about the people around them, time and beauty, noise, and themselves.Naoki abundantly proves that autistic people do possess imagination, humour and empathy, but also makes clear, with great poignancy, how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.David Mitchell and his wife have translated Naoki's book so that it might help others dealing with autism, and generally illuminate a little-understood condition. Like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, it gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective.

The evolution of Higashida's insights is at times almost unbearably moving' Financial Times'The invitation to step inside Higashida's mind is irresistible' Evening StandardNaoki Higashida met international success with The Reason I Jump, a revelatory account of life as a thirteen-year-old with non-verbal autism.

Aware of how mystifying his behaviour can appear to others, Higashida describes the effect on him of such commonplace things as a sudden change of plan, or the mental steps he has to take simply to register that it's raining.

Der New York Times-, Sunday Times- und internationale Bestseller, der uns Autismus so erklärt, wie wir ihn noch nie gesehen haben.Warum guckst du uns nicht in die Augen? Warum bist du so gern allein? Warum magst du nicht meine Hand halten? Warum rastest du aus? Dies sind nur einige der vielen Fragen, die Eltern eines autistischen Kindes umtreiben. In diesem bahnbrechenden Hörbuch finden sie Antworten.Naoki Higashida, ein japanischer Junge und selbst schwer autistisch, nimmt den Hörer mit in seine Welt, erklärt, was in ihm vorgeht – und löst mit seinen Antworten das bequeme Klischee auf, Menschen mit Autismus hätten keine Gefühle.Naoki hat gelernt, mit Hilfe einer "Papptastatur" zu kommunizieren - und was er zu sagen hat, gibt einen seltenen Einblick in einen autistisch verdrahteten Geist.In diesem Hörbuch erklärt Naoki Verhaltensweisen, von denen er weiß, dass sie verblüffend sein können, z. B. warum er gerne springt und warum manche Menschen mit Autismus sich nicht gerne berühren lassen; seine Gedanken und Gefühle über die Zeit, das Leben, die Schönheit und die Natur; wie Menschen mit Autismus die Welt wahrnehmen und sich in ihr zurechtfinden, und dass sie auch Phantasie, Humor und Einfühlungsvermögen besitzen. Naoki Higashida, geboren 1992 in Kimitsu, Japan, wurde im Alter von fünf Jahren mit schwerem, nonverbalem Autismus diagnostiziert. Er lernte mit einer "Papptastatur" zu kommunizieren und schrieb schon früh Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten. Im Alter von 13 Jahren verfasste er Warum ich euch nicht in die Augen schauen kann, das in Japan 2007 erschien und in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt wurde. Er wurde für seine Texte mehrfach ausgezeichnet und hält Vorträge zum Thema Autismus. Der auf dem Bestseller basierende Dokumentarfilm Warum ich euch nicht in die Augen schauen kann kam im Frühjahr 2022 in die Kinos.Die Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel The Reason I The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism.

Severely autistic and non-verbal, Naoki learnt to communicate by using a 'cardboard keyboard' - and what he has to say gives a rare insight into an autistically-wired mind.He explains behaviour he's aware can be baffling. What is a devastating developmental condition, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it.Following on from his groundbreaking article 'The Geek Syndrome'.

Bevægende og fuldkommen unik bog skrevet af en 13-årig japansk autistisk dreng, der har taget den vestlige verden med storm og toppet de engelske og amerikanske bestsellerlister.Hvorfor hopper du? Hvorfor gør du ikke det, du får besked på? Er det sandt, at I ikke bryder jer om at blive rørt ved? Kunne du tænke dig at være ’normal’? Det er bare en lille håndfuld af de spørgsmål, som den autistiske dreng Naoki Higashida giver svar på. I små, fine kapitler kommer han omkring en lang række fællestræk for mennesker med autisme og giver dermed læseren et enestående indblik i det autistiske barns tankeverden.Mest bemærkelsesværdigt er måske den livsvisdom, fantasi, humor og empati, som lyser ud af hver en sætning. Den engelske forfatter David Mitchell, der med sin japanske kone har oversat bogen til engelsk og udbredt den i Vesten, har skrevet et bevægende forord, hvori han bl.a. skriver:»Det var, som om vores egen søn for første gang talte til os og forklarede os, hvad der foregår inde i hans hoved. « Pressen skriver:»Den er brillant.«****** - Femina »"Derfor hopper jeg" er et blik på, hvad mennesket er for en størrelse. Og et kærligt og meget velkomment bud på, hvordan vi burde være. Læs bogen, så vil I forstå. Også hvorfor, han hopper.«***** - Nordjyske Stiftstidende »Denne bog giver svar på spørgsmål, du ikke vidste, du havde, og den lukker op for en grundviden om, at autisme ikke på nogen måde udelukker intellekt, poesi, kærlighed, nærvær og omsorg, men derimod kan sætte helt andre krøllede sammenhænge sammen, end vi i vores lineære verden er vant til. Den er ganske enkelt brillant. «****** - Q»Hvis du vil have pudset dine øjne og renset hjertet for is og sten, bør du læse denne lille bog. (...) Den er enkel, klog og oplysende.«- Kristeligt Dagblad
