       in 2007"--Title page verso. 
520    Written by a very smart, very self-aware, and very 
       charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, this is a one-
       of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind 
       thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us 
       can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought 
       they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one
       at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle,
       and complex life within. With disarming honesty and a 
       generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on 
       not only autism but life itself. His insights--into the 
       mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the 
       elusiveness of memory--are so startling, so strange, and 
       so powerful that you will never look at the world the same
       way again. In his introduction, bestselling novelist David
       Mitchell writes that Naoki's words allowed him to feel, 
       for the first time, as if his own autistic child was 
       explaining what was happening in his mind. This 
       translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA 
       Yoshida, so they'd be able to share that feeling with 
       friends, the wider autism community, and beyond.--From 
       publisher description.
