Naoki Higashida was 13 when he wrote one of the most important books ever published about autism. He did it without speaking a single word out loud.

Using a letter board, Naoki answered 58 questions about what it feels like to be him — why he repeats himself, why eye contact is hard, why certain sounds are unbearable, and why he still finds joy in the world.

The Reason I Jump was translated into more than 30 languages. When author David Mitchell read it, he wept. He had an autistic son — and said it was the closest he’d ever come to hearing his son’s inner voice.

Naoki is now in his 20s. He’s still writing.

One boy. One alphabet board. An entire world explained.

Today is a day we have worked towards for years.

Following Benedict’s death, we promised him — and we promised ourselves — that we would fight for change so no other family would have to stand where we stood.

Today, the Department for Education has launched the statutory consultation on Supporting Children with Medical Conditions and Allergy. It delivers the core elements of Benedict’s Law and requires all schools to have: spare allergy pens in schools, allergy training for staff, clear allergy policies and Individual Healthcare Plans.

Benedict’s Law exists because of our son. It exists because of the questions we had to ask. It exists because we refused to accept that uncertainty and inconsistency were good enough.

Benedict was brave, kind and full of life. He would have hated the idea of another child being left unsafe. We are incredibly proud that his name now stands for clearer standards and stronger protection for others.

This moment belongs to all of you as well. To the families who shared your stories. To the clinicians and teachers who spoke up. To everyone who signed, wrote, supported and stood with us.

We have done this for you. For every child with allergies. For every parent who sends their child to school and hopes they will be safe.

This consultation is an important step forward — and we will continue to see it through.

Because of Benedict’s Law, change is happening.
