Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8

Higashida's first book seemed to be written for parents of kids with autism, however this one, 5 years later, seems to be written for younger kids with autism, for them to learn of his experience. I really like his books, they are definitely helpful, even if we know not all neuro-atypicals have the same experience.

However, I would LOVE a book of his short stories. There's a haunting quality to them, that remind me of Kafka's magical realism. Yet sadly, in this collection of works and the earlier one (The reason I jump), there's only one short story in each. It's like, the only way for people to buy his work in English, is by saying he's an autistic writer writing about Autism, and i really want a collection of his work as a fictional writer. He's such a good writer.
