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 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."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Biography B McCreary Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 616.85 McCreary Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Biography B McCreary Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library YA -- Biography B McCreary Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.85 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Biography B McCreary Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Biography 616.85 McCreary Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
