### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Somewhat uncomfortable.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017*

I looked forward to reading this as a fellow autistic person. I felt uncomfortable reading it and couldn't finish it because - I know the author is young - but he speaks for all autistic people when many of us are not the same as he is. If you have met one autistic person, you have met one autistic person. Not everyone functions as he does.It is a nice jumping off point for abled people who don't know much about being autistic I guess, but it shouldn't be taken as the be all end all of what it is like to be autistic, and I am afraid it will be.

    BS radar on high alert
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019*

It would be great if these words were the thoughts of an autistic savant trapped in a body that didn't respond the way he wanted.  It would be wonderful if a 12 year old boy with such a disability had such self-awareness and mature understanding of the social struggle that neurotypical and non neurotypicals face when interacting with one another.  It would be such an enlightening message if someone with severe autism could break through and give all those parents out there hope that within the mind of their child there is reasoning and reflection that explains the flapping, jumping, and eloping.  Sadly, I feel that all these wishes and hopes of desparate parents who seek social connection and communication with their autistic child are preyed upon in this work.  Some may say that there is no real harm done here, but i wholly disagree. Not recommended.

    A brilliant book to read
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2016*

Dear,Naoki HigashidaI bought your book originally for a college class and began reading for pleasure after a long day at work. I knew Autism was a disability that most people look down on because I live with a younger brother on the spectrum. I was prepared to read the same information I’d seen in books my parents had purchased in the past to help them raise him to be a person who could survive in modern day society. I soon found out that I was completely wrong about this. “The Reason I Jump” was nothing compared to those books. Unlike my parent’s books, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this through every page turn. Print media written by someone that has Autism, seems more helpful in comparison to something written about Autism by someone who has never lived a day in a person with Autism’s shoes. In a media course I am currently taking at Corban University in Oregon, I have learned that the society in the United States has a transmission of culture with the media. We tend to pay attention to things that capture our attention at that very moment, instead of focusing on what is right in front of us. Our societies’ greatest concern is not helping people with Autism live to the fullest of their abilities, but to be how great can we make the next smartphone or tablet so we can live in a more lavish lifestyle. We should be living a lifestyle that is not conformed. Romans 12: 2 tells us, “And not be conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” This is a passage that speaks the truth about how we should live, which is that we must learn our priorities and help others in need, instead of helping ourselves, therefore, not being conformists to the media around us.Your amazing book helped opened my eyes in such a way that it has helped me form a better relationship with my brother. I can now understand why he does certain things throughout the day that naturally make other people confused. He and I can share moments and live lives fuller since I have read your book.God Bless,Crystal
