Abstract
Based on the best-selling book by Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump is a feature documentary exploring the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. Directed by Jerry Rothwell (who also directed the road movie Heavy Load, 2008), the film is described by Dr Alison Wilde as a deeply engaging, beautiful film, which also gives rise to feelings of ambivalence.
