However, as he emphasizes in this memoir, autism presents itself differently in each person with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Diagnosed with ASD at the age of five, McCreary developed a passion for performing at a young age. During a challenging period in junior high, he began journaling, transforming his pain into something empowering and humorous. At the age of 14, he landed his first stand-up gig and has since continued to pursue his passion. This unique and entertaining #OwnVoices memoir offers a valuable and engaging perspective on living with autism for readers on and off the spectrum. Candid scenes from McCreary's life are interspersed with amusing visuals and informative side notes. Funny, You Don't Look Autistic is a must-read for young readers with ASD seeking relatable voices and for readers seeking to broaden their understanding of ASD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 388g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157 x 229 x 9 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781773212579                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael McCreary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098803597562,"sku":"9781773212579","price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7057dca101e7236c7ad13efea5f111dd.jpg?v=1624754819","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/funny-you-dont-look-autistic-a-comedians-guide-to-life-on-the-spectrum","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
