' An absolute riot. I' m literally going to read it again once I' ve finished, and I' m a miserable bastard. . . it' s a belter' - FRANKIE BOYLEIf you' ve ever been on a night out where you got blackout drunk and have laughed the next day as your friends tell you all the stupid stuff you said, that' s what being autistic feels like for me: one long blackout night of drinking, except there' s no socially sanctioned excuse for your gaffes and no one is laughing. A summary of my book:1. I' m diagnosed with autism 20 years after telling a doctor I had it. 2. My terrible Catholic childhood: I hate my parents etc. 3. My friendship with an elderly man who runs the corner shop and is definitely not trying to groom me. I get groomed. 4. Homelessness. 5. Stripping. 6. More stripping but with more nervous breakdowns. 7. I hate everyone at uni and live with a psycho etc. 8. REDACTED as too spicy. 9. After everyone tells me I don' t look autistic, I try to cure my autism and get addicted to Xanax. 10. REDACTED as too embarrassing. ' Of course it' s funny - it' s Fern Brady - but this book is also deeply moving and eye-opening' - ADAM KAY' It made me laugh out loud and broke my heart and made me weep. . . I hope absolutely everyone reads this, and it makes them kinder and more curious about the way we all live' - DAISY BUCHANAN' Glorious. Frank but nuanced, a memoir that doesn' t sacrifice voice or self-awareness. And it has brilliant things to say about being autistic and being funny' - ELLE MCNICOLL' Fern is a brilliant, beautiful writer with a unique voice and even more unique story. Astute, honest and very, very funny. ' - LOU SANDERS' So funny and brilliant' - HOLLY SMALE' Fern' s book, like everything she does, is awesome. Incredibly funny, and so unapologetically frank that I feel genuinely sorry for her lawyers. ' - PHIL WANG
