Özet

Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn’t “look” autistic. But, as he’s quick to point out in this memoir, autism “looks” different for just about everyone with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Diagnosed with ASD at age five, McCreary got hit with the performance bug not much later. During a difficult time in junior high, he started journaling, eventually turning his pain into something empowering - and funny. He scored his first stand-up gig at age 14 and hasn't looked back.

This unique and hilarious #OwnVoices memoir breaks down what it’s like to live with autism for readers on and off the spectrum. Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic is an invaluable and compelling listen for young readers with ASD looking for voices to relate to as well as for listeners hoping to broaden their understanding of ASD.

I only intended to listen to a few chapters every day but ended up finishing this book within a day. Michael's reading style makes me feel like I'm listening to a friend and the book covered many different aspects that would be interesting for both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals.

This is a really good read. An excellent Own Voices insight into living with autism (obviously school is an absolute hellhole anyway but for neurodiverse kids or anyone who's a bit different it can be really crap) and the joys of finding your tribe. There's a lot of very helpful advice for both neurotypical people and people with ASD but, perhaps more importantly, it's really funny. I'm definitely going to check out Michael McCreary's stand up.

Great Own Voices insight
