Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic: A Comedian’s Guide to Life on the Spectrum

Michael McCreary, a stand-up comic in his twenties, writes about living on the autism spectrum. The book considers the repeated assumption that an autistic person must look a particular way. Instead of approaching autism solely through clinical language, it describes a fulfilling life on the spectrum from the perspective of a comedian. McCreary’s experience in comedy is part of the personal viewpoint named in the title, alongside his reflections on autism and identity.
