Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn’t “look” autistic. But, as he’s quick to point out in this memoir, autism “looks” different for just about everyone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Diagnosed with ASD at age five, McCreary got hit with the performance bug not much later. During a difficult time in junior high, he started journaling, eventually turning his pain e into something empowering—and funny. He scored his first stand-up gig at age 14, and hasn't looked back.This unique and hilarious #OwnVoices memoir breaks down what it’s like to live with autism for readers on and off the spectrum. Candid scenes from McCreary's life are broken up with funny visuals and factual asides. Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic is an invaluable and compelling read for young readers with ASD looking for voices to relate to, as well as for readers hoping to broaden their understanding of ASD.

From the acclaimed author of Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic, a picture book debut about two very different brothers and a connection that goes beyond words.For Michael and Mattie, growing up together includes all of the usual sibling stuff—riding the school bus for the first time, squabbling over the remote control, and learning to stand up for themselves. But the older they get, the more their paths start to diverge. Despite both being autistic, their experiences of life on the spectrum are very different. Things that delight Mattie disgust or frustrate Michael (and vice versa!), often to comedic effect, and what feels easy to one brother might be nearly impossible for the other. Still, there’s always something to bring them back together—even if it takes a while for them to get there.Written with both humor and heart as a tribute to his brother, Michael McCreary offers an intimate first-person account of a bond that is both universal and unique. Tallulah Dumont brings the spirit of the story to life through heightened body language and facial expressions inspired by the illustrations of Michael Martchenko.
