Post-Traumatic Growth and Discovery

Revisado: 03-01-24

Hearing the combination of the author’s story and the science behind her injury, as well as how trauma impacts us as a whole, was truly a-plus. I laughed, I teared up, I was moved and ultimately I came away with information that I didn’t have before. Understanding how things really affect us help recovery in the deepest sense and this book shares that understanding in quite an entertaining way. Kudos and thank you.

I am disappointed in the pushback. This was a great memoir

Revisado: 01-24-22

I am not a crier, but as a neurodivergent, non-binary, African American/Hispanic individual, this book spoke to me on so many levels. As an SA survivor and an individual who cared for my grandmother as she left this world from metastatic cancer…I am astounded in the well-rounded ness and the tact in describing such sensitive topics. I had some tears, I even had a sob or two as I identified all too well.

This is a book I wish I had when I skulked through my school libraries, as a child who felt they had no place in this world. To know that you can still find acceptance and learn even if you don’t conform to any of society’s norms. I hope any young adult that needs to read this can. I hope they learn and have the opportunity to grow. I hope any adult can also learn and grow. Brava, Mr. Johnson. Thank you for this.

It is just more than insightful

Revisado: 08-26-21

Whether Naoki Higashida wrote it completely on his own (which I believe he did and is capable of) or if he had assistance or support, this book displays insight that is much needed not only in the field but in the homes of really anyone who is touch by the world of the neurodivergent (which at this point is pretty much everyone, whether you know it or not). I started it to gain more insight for my son who is currently without verbal communication and wound up identifying with much of my childhood as well as even aspects of my current life. This further makes me feel it is truly his work, the work of a mind on the spectrum.

The story at the end was so beautiful and truly encapsulates Higashida’s talent and ability as an author.

First and foremost, we should never underestimate the abilities of even children. We owe them at least the benefit of the doubt. Second, no one understands the mind of one who has to live entrap in ones head like oneself. I believe he was able to produce such a work because he had so much time with himself to figure it out. I resonate with this. I may be biased, but I enjoyed and gained enlightenment from this book. I hope others may do so as well.
