'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?

The audiobook includes an exclusive Q&A with comedian and BudPod co-host, Phil Wang.©2024 Pierre Novellie (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Artes Escénicas Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental Salud Mental Autismo Comedia Divertido Ingenioso Celebridad

I bought this book because it sounded interesting, and there are a few autistic people in my life. I did not expect to learn that I, myself, am probably autistic.

The amount of experiences he relates that resonated with me is staggering. I found the explanations of things to be very accessible and realized that some of my struggles are probably due to things like executive dysfunction and demand avoidance. I'd heard those terms and their definitions before, but this was the first time I saw how my behavior patterns fit into those profiles.

I definitely recommend this book, whether you're autistic, think you might be, or simply care about someone who is. There's a lot to learn that can help us empathize a little better with each other.

O.M.G!

I love the funny examples of what it means to be different. It opened my eyes to autistic people and how they see the world. The narration is great as well. I recommend this book for everybody.

I recommend this for everybody

I was first drawn to this book because of its title. Then I read the plot. With the recent trend of what seems like everyone and their dog being in the spectrum, I decided to buy and read it to see if I could better understand autism today. I say today because I have an uncle who is the traditional 70s version of what was considered autistic. It was an interesting and educational book. The author's sense of humor kept it light and engaging. I do feel like I gained a new perspective. My biggest takeaway is that there's really nothing "wrong" with these people. The "wrong" is with our society who, as usual, do everything they can to make anyone different feel subhuman. Good read.

A useful (and entertaining) read!

I wish I could give this book six stars. After reading the book “Is This Autism?” and concluding that yes, it is definitely autism, I stumbled upon this book while looking for my next listen on my journey of autistic self-discovery. This book validated my own experience in a deep and meaningful way, and felt like the metaphorical hug I needed after such a life-changing moment. I wish I could thank the author in person. Also, it’s hilarious. Highly recommended for anyone recently diagnosed or curious.

Essential reading for lately diagnosed people, or others suspicious they may be autistic

Just a delightful read. The author narrating it made it even better. He was able to articulate so many things that I’ve never been able to articulate about the autistic experience. And it’s of course funny - a breath of fresh air for books on autism

Delightful

Wonderful narration on his take of autism. A couple of things he said made me go, "Oh, is that a thing? That's not normal?" easy to get into.

eye opening
