Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 de Naoki Higashida

Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8

Autor Naoki Higashida Traducere de KA Yoshida, David Mitchell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iul 2017

Observăm în ultimii ani o schimbare profundă în modul în care societatea percepe neurodiversitatea, trecând de la o abordare clinică la una empatică, centrată pe vocea individului. Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 reprezintă un pilon esențial în această transformare a stilului de viață incluziv. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Warum ich euch nicht in die Augen schauen kann (cunoscută internațional ca The Reason I Jump), Naoki Higashida ne oferea perspectiva vulnerabilă a unui copil de treisprezece ani, noul volum marchează trecerea spre maturitate. Autorul nu mai este doar un subiect de studiu, ci un observator fin al condiției umane.

Remarcăm structura fragmentată, cu capitole scurte și percutante, care oglindește modul în care Higashida procesează realitatea. Cine a explorat universul interior al unui copil în The Reason I Jump: one boy's voice from the silence of autism va aprecia aici evoluția tonului: mai reflexiv, marcat de un umor discret și de o tenacitate remarcabilă. Spre deosebire de Dear Charlie, unde perspectiva este cea a unui bunic, Higashida ne oferă acces direct, nefiltrat, la „pașii gândirii” sale — de la efortul de a recunoaște că afară plouă, până la exhilararea călătoriilor. Stilul său liric, tradus cu sensibilitate de David Mitchell și KA Yoshida, transformă dificultatea comunicării verbale într-o formă de artă literară. Notăm cu interes cum autorul reușește să explice comportamente care par stranii pentru „neurotipici”, transformându-le în experiențe universale de adaptare și reziliență.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte oricărui părinte, educator sau cititor care dorește să înțeleagă autismul din interior, nu din manuale. Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 nu este doar o mărturie despre dizabilitate, ci un exercițiu de voință care demonstrează cum limitele fizice pot fi depășite prin scris. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nouă asupra micilor victorii cotidiene și un instrument practic pentru a comunica mai eficient cu persoanele non-verbale.

Despre autor

Naoki Higashida s-a născut în Kimitsu, Japonia, în 1992. Diagnosticat cu autism sever la o vârstă fragedă, a învățat să comunice folosind o tabelă de caractere alfabetice, devenind un scriitor non-verbal de succes internațional. Lucrarea sa de debut, scrisă la doar 13 ani, a devenit un fenomen global, fiind ulterior adaptată într-un documentar premiat. Prin scrierile sale, Higashida a devenit un ambasador global al neurodiversității, demonstrând că absența vorbirii nu echivalează cu absența gândirii complexe sau a emoțiilor profunde.

Descriere scurtă

From the author of the bestselling The Reason I Jump, an extraordinary self-portrait of life as a young adult with autism 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 he shares his thoughts and experiences as a twenty-four-year-old 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. He also allows readers to experience profound moments we take for granted, like the thought-steps necessary for him to register that it's raining outside. Acutely aware of how strange his behavior can appear to others, he aims throughout to foster a better understanding of autism and to encourage society to see people with disabilities as people, not as problems. With an introduction by bestselling novelist David Mitchell, Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 also includes a dreamlike short story Higashida wrote especially for this edition. Both moving and of practical use, this book opens a window into the mind of an inspiring young man who meets every challenge with tenacity and good humor. However often he falls down, he always gets back up. Advance praise for Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 "Now that Naoki Higashida is a young adult, he has developed rich inner thoughts and he strives to learn more about the world around him. Until he was able to communicate with his alphabet grid, his loneliness was agony. He begs teachers and others who work with special-needs individuals to provide opportunities to learn and grow. A sheltered life is not paradise. Naoki maintains that to avoid impairment of personal development, he must have contact with 'some of the hardships other people endure.' This book is essential reading for parents and teachers of those with autism who remain nonverbal."--Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain and Thinking in Pictures

"Compelling insight on every single page, gently challenging assumptions you didn't even know you held on how others 'should' process the social and physical environments around us."--Ellen Notbohm, author of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew Praise for The Reason I Jump "One of the most remarkable books I've ever read."--Jon Stewart "The Reason I Jump is a Rosetta stone. . . . It will stretch your vision of what it is to be human."--Andrew Solomon, The Times (UK) "Amazing times a million."--Whoopi Goldberg, People "Extraordinary, moving, and jeweled with epiphanies."--The Boston Globe
