You’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 as: “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 answer: “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.
Advance praise for The Reason I Jump
“ The Reason I Jump is awise, beautiful, intimate and courageous explanation of autism as it is lived every day by one remarkable boy. Naoki Higashida takes us ‘behind the mirror’—his testimony should be read by parents, teachers, siblings, friends, and anybody who knows and loves an autistic person. I only wish I’d had this book to defend myself when I was Naoki’s age.” —Tim Page, author of Parallel Play and professor of journalism and music at the University of Southern California

We can put up with our own hardships okay, but the thought that our lives are the source of other people’s unhappiness, that’s plain unbearable.

本书其实是译作,原作者是一名十三岁的日本自闭症儿童,译者翻译本书的初衷是希望能帮助那些有自闭症患者的家庭增进对病患的理解和沟通。书中以问答的形式主要介绍了自闭症患者在普通人看来怪异的行为模式背后心酸而痛苦的心理过程。 自闭症患者生活中最大的难题就是与他人的沟通,自己无所适从的同时也会给家人带来了不小的困扰。所以当我读到说小作者学会书面语言并能够通过写作正确而流畅的表达自己的想法和感受的时候,惊讶之... 本书其实是译作,原作者是一名十三岁的日本自闭症儿童,译者翻译本书的初衷是希望能帮助那些有自闭症患者的家庭增进对病患的理解和沟通。书中以问答的形式主要介绍了自闭症患者在普通人看来怪异的行为模式背后心酸而痛苦的心理过程。 自闭症患者生活中最大的难题就是与他人的沟通,自己无所适从的同时也会给家人带来了不小的困扰。所以当我读到说小作者学会书面语言并能够通过写作正确而流畅的表达自己的想法和感受的时候,惊讶之余钦佩之心油然而生,这不能不说是一个奇迹。 自闭症儿童并不向很多大众理解的那样心智低下,很多时候他们表现出奇怪的举动是身不由己,或者力不从心,但完全不具备攻击性和恶意。这都跟他们特有的身心发展特点或者说障碍有关,这些小作者都有形象易懂的描述。 乌鸦和白鸽的那篇童话给人印象深刻。 (展开)

Yet the writing is awfully uninsipiring and simplistic, let alone full of discrepancies and hollow speculations and generalisations. Overrated! (展开)

更新:看了NHK纪录片,看到作者如何交流,发现他非常聪明。看到大脑检查显示是他的弓状束(连接语言理解区域和表达区域的神经集)出现异常导致不能正常说话,而他右脑承担意图理解能力的区域比常人要大,因有优于常人的表现力。如此看来,他能写出这本书毫无意外。我之前的质疑是狭隘、不客观的。感谢作者让更多人了解自闭儿的内心世界,重度自闭能有如此写作水平简直是奇迹。 原评论:作为长期接触自闭症小朋友的志愿者,本意... 更新:看了NHK纪录片,看到作者如何交流,发现他非常聪明。看到大脑检查显示是他的弓状束(连接语言理解区域和表达区域的神经集)出现异常导致不能正常说话,而他右脑承担意图理解能力的区域比常人要大,因有优于常人的表现力。如此看来,他能写出这本书毫无意外。我之前的质疑是狭隘、不客观的。感谢作者让更多人了解自闭儿的内心世界,重度自闭能有如此写作水平简直是奇迹。 原评论:作为长期接触自闭症小朋友的志愿者,本意是想通过此书了解这些孩子的内心想法。尽管非常努力希望能客观公正,依然很难相信一位有学习障碍、社交障碍、无语言沟通能力、年仅十三岁的小朋友如何对生活、对人生、对世界有如此深刻的见解以致曾读万卷书行万里路识万般人的成年人自愧不如?很赞同亚马逊一评论,这本书更像是出自一有自闭症孩子的中年家长之手 (展开)

自闭症患儿创作的故事/问答集,作者很努力地解释他的“真实想法”。自闭症虽然差异很大,但黑盒子至少被打开了一点,这本书的存在就是它最大的价值。

这种程度的思维、心态和文笔无论从哪个角度衡量都远超同龄人了。但毕竟还是只有 13 岁,所以更喜欢那些他自己也不知道怎么解释的问题回答和那些以 I 而不是 We 开头的句子,就当是那里面藏着常人视角破译不出的每个自闭症患者各不相同的小世界好了。

作者大概算是自闭症里“幸运”的极少数,能够找到表达自己的出口,也为其他患者的家属找到了了解的入口。
