THE REASON I JUMP
Book ID/图书代码： 03540012B57966
English Summary/英文概要： Written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, this remarkable book provides a rare insight into the often baffling behaviour of autistic children. Using a question and answer format, Naoki explains things like why he talks loudly or repeats the same questions, what causes him to have panic attacks, and why he likes to jump. He also shows the way he thinks and feels about his world - other people, nature, time and beauty, and himself. 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.
David Mitchell and his wife have translated Naoki’s book so that it might help others dealing with autism and generally illuminate a little-understood condition. It gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective.
The book also features eleven original illustrations, inspired by Naoki’s words, by the artistic duo Kai and Sunny.

如果有一天，你的腦子裡像有幾十台收音機同時播放不同頻道的廣播，你沒有辦法調控聲音、不能調控頻道，更沒有窗戶或是門能讓你逃脫，直到你筋疲力盡……你感覺如何？
——這就是自閉症孩子的感受
我們總以為隨意的交談是一件很簡單、自然的事情。其實你腦子裡有一個編輯正在組織你的思想、感情、語言、記憶、衝動等各種想法。當這個編輯趁你不在意溜出了你的大腦，所有的思緒和感情如同瀑布般湧向你，你抓不住任何一條資訊，無法表達任何感情。
如果有一天，你似乎站在一個傾斜的帆船甲板上。當你的父親在你面前跟你說話時，他說的話像是穿過了一個隧道傳來，……你不再會說母語，所有的語言都變成了外語……所有的字母都在你大腦裡隨意飛舞，你就是抓不住它，它們對你而言沒有意義……你感覺如何？
——這就是自閉症孩子的感受
我們總以為看到這個正常的世界是件很自然的事情。其實，每個人的大腦裡還有一個資訊篩檢程式和控制器，如果它罷工了，所有的形狀都變了形，顏色混合在一起。
此書出版時，他還是個初中生。他用自己的獨白、問答、日常小事告訴我們一個語言障礙型自閉症的孩子對時間、感官、語言、空間的不同感受。他為什麼會傷害自己，他多麼想表達，多麼想成為一個正常人。Naoki通過這本書同樣表達了自己對父母、老師、朋友和護養員的愛，為自己帶來的傷害表示歉意。(Celia)

• “It’s the most illuminating book I think I’ve ever read on the syndrome and on the individual and it allows you to see someone with the syndrome as an individual.”

About the Author/作者介绍： Naoki一個13歲的男孩，他看到的世界和我們看到的完全不一樣，但不能表達，說不出痛苦，也說不出快樂，因為他患有語言表達障礙，一種自閉症。但在字母表的説明下，他用自己的意志集中精力學習了語言，一個字一個字地拼出了自己的詩、自己的小說《I’m Right Here》。他現在每天寫博客，已經在日本自閉症推廣圈子內小有名氣，成為日語版《Big Issue》的專題人物。
David Mitchell一個自閉症男孩的父親，束手無策。當妻子將《The Reason I Jump》交給他讀時，他熱淚盈眶，覺得好似自己的兒子向他慢慢講述自己的感受、痛苦和感激。他希望更多的人理解自閉症孩子的語言障礙，努力改善孩子的生活，給他們尊重和更多愛護。
