Everyone should read this book.

I'm on my third listen right now.

On my first listen I could have sworn Pierre had been observing me my entire life taking notes and was now reporting on everything I'd ever done wrong socially and patiently and thoroughly explaining to me how to avoid those issues in the future. Honestly i could have cried with relief, I finally have a manual.

Thanks Pierre.

Humorous clarity- a fun and meaningful journey of discovery.

Highly recommend to everyone! A great read/ listen. Enlightening, thought provoking and funny. I had no idea how little I knew! Neuro-typical people like me can learn a lot about all human nature through this open and frank insight into someone’s life experience. I relate with so much- noticing the difference of degree eg getting tired by socialising. Realised things I’ve been doing wrong / missing and how to make good change.
All therapists should read this book. Actually everyone could learn and enjoy so much. Thank you! Great fun learning so much. Xx

Absolutely brilliant

I rarely leave reviews but this was so funny and spot-on with some of the anecdotes, that I felt compelled to leave a comment! If you’re autistic, get ready for lots of moments of intense validation and that feeling of, yes he gets it!! It all comes across with lots of humour, it was a very enjoyable listen.

Funny, well informed, helpful and enjoyable book

This has been the most helpful book I’ve ever read. It’s funny yet so well researched and so much I could relate to. Anyone that is autistic, thinks they are or lives with someone that is, could do worse that reading this book.

A compelling must listen

I love Pierre Novellie anyway, but this book is so well written, concise and eye opening I wouldn't have expected anything less.
I have already recommended it to other people and will be ordering a physical copy.
If you are, suspect you may be, or love an autistic person then this book is for you.

Best book to understand high functioning autism

Reading about these topics can be a rather hard affair due to the... well it's ultimately hard for autists out in the world so it triggers sadness, anger and fear when reading about how they are. It can be hard to get through even a single article. This book made it bearable, even fun at times, while it did not compromise on the depth of understanding and information it conveys. I will recommend this as the single read-this-first thing for anyone who wants to understand autism and definitely to my autistic son when he becomes 18 years old.
