Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204881333-why-can-t-i-just-enjoy-things

If you want to learn more about autism this book presents the experience in an entertaining and digestible way.

I always knew I had /some/ signs but it wasn't until reading (or listening to) this that I truly comprehended how different my experience of the world is from a neurotypical.

It's well researched and written by a millennial comedian who was diagnosed at 31. Highly recommend.

Wow... the 1-star review is living proof that you can be both autistic and completely fucking stupid.

Currently reading this myself. I was diagnosed last summer and I have found this book a great help so far.
