Naoki Higashida Quotes About Autism

• He aprendido que todo ser humano, con o sin discapacidad, tiene que esforzarse al máximo, y esforzándose por ser feliz se alcanza la felicidad. Para nosotros, tener autismo es normal, así que no podemos saber a ciencia cierta cómo es tu "normalidad". Pero mientras podamos aprender a querernos a nosotros mismos, no estoy seguro de que importe mucho si somos normales o autistas.

• Criticizing people, winding them up, making idiots of them or fooling them doesn't make people with autism laugh. What makes us smile from the inside is seeing something beautiful, or a memory makes us laugh. This generally happens when there's nobody watching us. And at night, on our own, we might burst out laughing underneath the duvet, or roar with later in an empty room ... When we don't need to think about other people or anything else, that's when we wear our aural expressions.

• People with autism never, ever feel at ease, wherever we are. Because of this, we wander off - or run away - in search of some location where we do feel at ease. While we're on this search, it doesn't occur to us to consider how or where we're going to end up. We get swallowed up by the illusion that unless we can find a place to belong, we are going to be all alone in the world.

• When you see an object, it seems that you see it as an entire thing first, and only afterwards do its details follow on. But for people with autism, the details jump straight out at us first of all, and then only gradually, detail by detail, does the whole image float up into focus.
