Description

Written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, this remarkable book provides a rare insight into the behaviour of autistic children. Using a question and answer format, Naoki explains why he talks loudly or repeats the same questions, and why he likes to jump. Abundantly proving that people with autism do possess imagination, humour and empathy, he also makes clear how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.

Professional reviews

"‘The freshness of voice coexists with so much wisdom... it will stretch your vision of what it is to be human.’ THE TIMES ‘This is a wonderful book. I defy anyone not to be captivated, charmed and uplifted by it. But above all, you will never feel the same about autism again.’ EVENING STANDARD"
