The Reason I Jump plot

Documentary about non-speaking autistic people around the world, based on the book by Naoki Higashida. We follow a young Japanese boy on a journey through an epic landscape. As a maelstrom of thoughts, feelings, impulses and memories influence every action of his, he gradually discovers what his autism means to him, how his perception of the world differs from that of others and why he acts the way he does. Combining Higashida's insights with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people, different ways of experiencing reality are outlined. Not being able to talk doesn't mean there's nothing to say.
