'Outstanding, I want to press it into the hands of every newly diagnosed person' Fern Brady

'A hilarious, crystal-clear guide to autism' Phil Wang

'An illuminating and joyously entertaining book' Daily Express


Why were the other kids at school obsessed with Britney Spears instead of 
The Goon Show?
Why don't people ever say what they mean?
And... Why is everyone chewing 
so loudly?

Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck's back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right.

This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life.

At once a hilarious and insightful journey through autism and neurodivergence, an entertaining explainer for the uninitiated and observational comedy for the neurodiverse, this is the perfect read for anyone who has ever asked themselves: why can't I just enjoy things?

Why don't you offer free shipping? 🤔

Full disclosure - we are a small, independent business, run by just the two of us (Paul and Shaun). That's it! We'd love to be able to, and we did for a long time, but the simple fact is we can't afford it at the moment.

It may be a little unusual in this day and age, but we'd rather be upfront about it. And know that, for a few extra pounds, every single order is helping two very grateful people to keep their indie biz dream alive! 🥰
