Funny, you don't look autistic : a comedian's guide… by Michael McCreary

I read this thanks to the Big Library Read, and I thought it was a great pick. It was funny and interesting and educational, perfect to sit down with for an afternoon.

Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide… by Michael McCreary

I follow Michael McCreary on Facebook and enjoy the funny things he posts, I also have family who is on the autism spectrum. I can't believe that I didn't know that Michael grew up in Orangeville (40 mins from me), or that he now lives in Toronto (30 mins from me)! I didn't even know he was Canadian! So this was VERY exciting for me, ha.

This book isn't entirely what I expected, it's non-fiction memoir as opposed to a humourous book. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, but I did enjoy reading about Michael's rise in comedy, and the epilogue surprised me and just broke my heart.

I wouldn't say I learned anything new about autism since I live with someone who has it, but I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with ASD will find some very good tips among all the stories.… (more)

Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide… by Michael McCreary

I saw this on Overdrive as the "great library read." It wasn't anything spectacular but I did enjoy learning more about how those on the spectrum think/act/process.
