Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn't look autistic. But, as he's quick to point out in this memoir, autism looks different for just about everyone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
