Author : Naoki Higashida

The author of this book is Naoki Higashida, born in Chiba prefecture, Japan, in 1992. Diagnosed with severe autism when he was five, he is unable to speak. As a child, he learned to spell out words using an alphabet grid with the help of his teacher and mother. This method enabled him to express what he wanted to say. He wrote The Reason I Jump at the tender age of thirteen, which was first published in Japan in 2007 and later translated into English in 2013.
