The Autism And Us Book Club is an incredible extension of our Autism And Us parent support community. It provides a welcoming and inclusive space for like-minded individuals who are passionate about exploring the world of books and fostering meaningful discussions.
At the heart of our book club is the desire to shed light on the diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum. Through carefully selected books, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of autism and promote empathy and acceptance within our community.
Joining the Autism And Us Book Club provides a unique opportunity to connect with others who share a common interest in literature. We meet regularly to discuss our chosen books, exchange ideas, and share our personal insights and reflections. These discussions not only expand our knowledge but also allow us to develop a deeper appreciation for the incredible diversity within the autism community.
Whether you are a caregiver, a person on the autism spectrum, or someone who simply wants to learn more about autism, our book club is open to all. By participating, you will not only engage in thought-provoking discussions but also be a part of a supportive and inclusive community.
We invite you to join us in our mission to explore the world of books, celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity, and foster a greater understanding of autism. Let’s embark on this literary journey together and create meaningful connections that will last a lifetime.
To become a member of the Autism And Us Book Club, simply join our Facebook group and stay updated with our upcoming book selections and discussion events. We look forward to welcoming you into our community of book lovers and autism advocates. Happy reading!

The Reason I Jump
Naoki Higashida
Naoki Higashida was only thirteen when he wrote The Reason I Jump, a revelatory account of autism from the inside by a nonverbal Japanese child, which became an international success. Now, in Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8, he shares his thoughts and experiences as a young man living each day with severe autism. In short, powerful chapters, Higashida explores school memories, family relationships, the exhilaration of travel, and the difficulties of speech.
