'Outstanding, I want to press it into the hands of every newly diagnosed person' Fern Brady
'Like a Martian's guide to living on Earth. Funny, enlightening and gobsmacking' Frank Skinner
'A hilarious, crystal-clear guide to autism' Phil Wang
'An illuminating and joyously entertaining book' Daily Express
Why were the other kids at school obsessed with Britney Spears instead of The Goon Show?
Why don't people ever say what they mean?
And... Why is everyone chewing so loudly?
Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right.
This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life.
At once a hilarious and insightful journey through autism and neurodivergence, an entertaining explainer for the uninitiated and observational comedy for the neurodiverse, this is the perfect read for anyone who has ever asked themselves: why can't I just enjoy things?

For the late and newly diagnosed - and their friends and family

Just a brilliant book for all adults on the autism spectrum, especially for the late and recently diagnosed. Novellie is an excellent writer knowing exactly how to explain what a lifelong struggle without diagnosis can include and what great relief the diagnosis bring into our lives.
I love his sense of humour, his use of language and his competence which many of the so-called experts - mainly neurotypical... - could learn a lot from.
In a nutshell:
this book is definitely a must for ... see title of this comment.
