Although this type of recreation may offend some writers, I do not feel that it was disrespectful in nature. “I reckon” and “lose the plot completely”), which makes it obvious that he was attempting to recreate Naoki’s language in a way that would be understandable to English-speaking readers. However, the translator for this book sometimes uses British expressions in the book (e.g. I also could tell that Naoki’s thoughts were clearly written, and my own experiences with autism allowed me to see that the adults around him had not tampered with his ideas. I found both of these formats to be very easy to read, as the information was in smaller chunks and not in groups of long paragraphs. The writing in this book alternates between a question and answer format (where Naoki answers questions about autistic symptoms and how they affect him) and a short story format (where Naoki tells a fictional story that is symbolic of his life with autism). This way, the community at large could become more aware of the issues that autistic people struggle with on a daily basis. When he recognized his success in this area, Naoki decided to write a book that discussed a variety of challenges that he was facing.
He prefers to type his thoughts onto a computer, which he finds to be very useful for helping others understand him.
The author of this book, Naoki Higashida, is a boy who struggles significantly with verbal communication. This book, titled “The Reason I Jump,” is a vital resource for those who are seeking to understand children who are on the lower end of the autism spectrum, and I enjoyed reading it very much. However, I have recently read a book where a 13-year-old boy with autism describes the thought processes and emotions that result in his autistic traits. I write these blog entries for similar reasons, and I appreciate the opportunity to tell family members and professionals about my experiences so that they can learn from them.
It is vital that we tell others how we are feeling and what we are thinking, so that the community can understand our needs. Whenever I sit down to write a new blog entry, I mentally acknowledge the importance of self-advocacy in the lives of people with autism.
