From the author of the bestselling The Reason I Jump, an extraordinary self-portrait of a young adult with autism

“Essential reading for parents and teachers of those with autism who remain nonverbal.”—Temple Grandin

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, in Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8, he shares his thoughts and experiences as a young 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 the bestselling novelist David Mitchell, Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8 also includes a dreamlike short story Higashida wrote especially for the U.S. 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.

Praise for Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8

“[Naoki Higashida’s] success as a writer now transcends his diagnosis. . . . His relative isolation—with words as his primary connection to the outside world—has allowed him to fully develop the powers of observation that are necessary for good writing, and he has developed rich, deep perspectives on ideas that many take for granted. . . . The diversity of Higashida’s writing, in both subject and style, fits together like a jigsaw puzzle of life put in place with humor and thoughtfulness.”The Japan Times

“Profound insights about what the struggle of living with autism is really like . . . Once again, the invitation to step inside Higashida’s mind is irresistible.”London Evening Standard

“Naoki Higashida’s lyrical and heartfelt account of his condition is a gift to anyone involved with the same challenges. . . . Higashida shows a delicate regard for the difficulties his condition creates . . . and is adept at explaining his experiences in language that makes sense to neurotypicals.”The Guardian

Worked great in Italy!
Color: White/grey-Type L
Used them on our recent 7 day trip to Italy. Every hotel had the 3-prong outlet so these were perfect. Charged up all our phones, iPads, and used them to convert to 120V for other appliances. Highly recommend!

Perfect travel device for travel in Italy!
Color: White/grey-Type L
We traveled all over Italy and these worked perfectly everywhere. All the ports were helpful and reduced the number of adapters we needed. We brought a 2-prong style as well, that had larger posts and was supposed to be equally universal but it was definitely not. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and recommend you skip the 2 prong style. The only other consideration is that when you unplug a lamp or something else to use the plug then you may want an additional way to plug the lamp back in and the additional US outlets on the side won’t help, since the lamp will the the same European 3 prong plug. That would definitely be a bulky adapter, but might be worth having one in the group.
