Description	is a book written by Naoki Higashida in 2005, when he was 13, and originally published in Japan in 2007. The English translation by KA Yoshida and her husband, author David Mitchell, was published in 2013 and became a New York Times Bestseller and a Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller in the UK. Since then it has been translated into over 30 other languages. Higashida was diagnosed as autistic when he was five and he requires the use of a Japanese character grid and a communications facilitator or a computer keyboard to write.The book includes an introduction by Mitchell, due to his close connection to the text both as translator and father of a child with autism, which has been excerpted on NPR. The majority of the memoir is told through 58 questions Higashida and many other people dealing with autism are commonly asked, as well as interspersed sections of short prose. These sections are either memories Higashida shares or parabolic stories that relate to the themes discussed throughout the memoir. The collections ends with Higashida's short story, "I'm Right Here," which the author prefaces by saying:I wrote this story in the hope that it will help you to understand how painful it is when you can't express yourself to the people you love. If this story connects with your heart in some way, then I believe you'll be able to connect back to the hearts of people with autism too.
