I Want to Fly into the Sky
About This Novel
The Japanese boy Naoki Higashida, the author of "I Want to Fly into the Sky", is a person with severe autism. Although he has difficulty speaking a complete sentence, he can slowly piece together what he really wants to express through the alphabet keyboard, which answers many people's doubts about autistic children. In "I Want to Fly into the Sky", he told people in detail about the inner world of autistic children in the form of questions and answers. Naoki Higashida's answer in the book "I Want to Fly into the Sky" is both sincere and self-deprecating. What's surprising is that he actually knows that some of his behaviors are different from others, even weird, but he just can't control it; he even knows that others will look at him in a strange way, but he is calm and can view it with humor (yes, autistic children also have a sense of humor!). Even if there are no autistic people around you, or you consider yourself a "normal person", the questions and answers in the book "I Want to Fly to the Sky" will still deeply inspire and touch you. "I Want to Fly into the Sky" opens another door for us to communicate with autistic children, and opens up a new perspective for us to observe the world. As long as we understand the reasons behind the behaviors of autistic people, we will understand that children with autism do not have no feelings; on the contrary, they feel very strongly. All they lack is a way to express themselves. They are just different from us. What they especially want to see is the acceptance, understanding and companionship of their parents and friends.
