Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide to Life on the Spectrum by Michael McCreary
3.5
REVIEW: Funny, You Don't Look Autistic ⭐⭐⭐.5 (3.5)
“What we have to do is be understanding of one another, not judge others exclusively by our own experience, and, to quote my mom, shut up and listen.”
― Michael McCreary, Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide to Life on the Spectrum
This book has been on my TBR list for a while now, so I was very excited to see an ARC released for the audiobook. It was originally published on March 12, 2019.
Michael McCreary is a young comedian sharing his story that started when he was five and was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). He talks about his testing and how it all affects his and his family's lives. My eight-year-old son has ASD, and lately, I have been feeling like I have it as well. It was great hearing the experience through an individual on the spectrum and not just someone who is neurotypical talking about it. There are many different aspects of ASD, and it was very interesting to hear how Michael’s childhood was impacted. Michael shared his story in a fun and amusing way, which I wouldn’t expect anything less from a comedian.
There were just a few things I didn’t like as much in Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic. It was pretty short, making most of the information and stories shared pretty basic. I would have liked a little more details, especially about his comedy career. Also, due to its organization, the story wasn’t always easy to follow.
Overall, I enjoyed Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic as an audiobook. I love listening to the stories of others through their own voices.
Thank you, Netgalley and Annick Press Audiobooks, for the free advanced audio copy for my honest review!
