Based on the 2007 bestselling book by Naoki Higashida (then aged 13), Jerry Rothwell’s sensitive documentary ‘The Reason I Jump’ is a strikingly immersive and evocative experience that aims to bridge the understanding gap between neurotypicals and neurodivergents (people who are on the autism spectrum). Curious to know more about the film, ‘The Reason I Jump’, and where you can stream it? Here’s everything that you need to know.

What is The Reason I Jump About?

Naoki Higashida is a nonverbal autistic person who wrote, with the help of his mother, the book ‘The Reason I Jump’ simply as a way to attempt to make his thoughts clearer to neurotypicals. He wanted neurotypicals to have even a bit of an idea of what it’s like to be on the autism spectrum and not being able to communicate what you’re feeling. Rothwell adapted the book into the beautiful documentary film of the same name by keeping the book as a guiding light and adding in the eye-opening stories of five different nonverbal neurodivergents from across the globe. The documentary integrates Higashida’s illuminating insights into life on the spectrum with intimate portraits of five remarkable young neurodivergent people who also have trouble expressing themselves. The film’s aim is simple – to make this world a better place by making neurotypicals more aware about those who are on the spectrum and bridging the gap of understanding.
