The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism by Naoki Higashida, Written when he was only 13, this  book explains the often baffling behaviour of autistic children and shows the way they think and feel - such as 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.
