Based on Naoki Higashida’s best‑selling book, The Reason I Jump is an immersive and sensorial portrait of nonspeaking autistic people around the world, weaving Higashida’s profound reflections—written at age 13—with intimate stories of five young individuals to reveal a rich inner world and a powerful truth: being unable to speak does not mean having nothing to say.

The Reason I Jump became a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller and has been translated into more than 30 languages. It has sold over a million copies worldwide.
