It's the real deal
There are a lot of books on autism. A lot written by experts but non are as big an expert as this little boy. Naomi Higashida struggles with communication and his mum made him a letters graph where he could point and he started writing a book. This is the book. It i simple and affective and explains what it is like being an autistic child from the inside. This will give you insight we rarely ever have have where Higashida explains not only the traits and behaviours and why he does them but at the same time how doing them and then people's reactions to them make him feel. It has opened my eyes to think about things very differently and makes this one of the most important books ever written.
