Review of 'The Reason I Jump' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

The clarity with which I can understand the author's point of view is astounding. This is both a wonderful personal story, and also a way to better understand people whose brains work differently than mine. I was touched and felt so many (generally positive) emotions while reading this. I highly recommend it.

Review of 'The Reason I Jump The Inner Voice Of A Thirteenyearold Boy With Autism' on Goodreads

3 stars

Curiously engaging as a non-fiction personal account of the interior experience of autism. Many layers of translation dilemmas and questions here, but the basic story of fear, disconnection from ones own body and mind, and deep empathy is worth considering.
