Michael McCreavy was so entertaining in his book, Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedienne's Guide To Life On The Spectrum, that I could not put it down. I read the whole book in one day. Michael talks about his life growing up in Ontario with a neurotypical older brother and a younger brother who is also on the spectrum. He had loving parents who accepted their three sons and helped guide them through their lives and encouraged their passions. He wrote about how he dealt with bullies at school. He said taking improv classes did more to improve his social skills than any of the social skills classes he took in school. Although I think he is too young (22) to write an autobiography, he did a great job of it.
