Med over 1,5 millioner mennesker i USA diagnosticeret med autisme, og millioner af yderligere familiemedlemmer, lærere og støttepersonale påvirket, er Unintentional Humor en tiltrængt ressource til at øge bevidstheden og forbedre kommunikationsudfordringer. Bogen er fyldt med morsomme historier og tegneserier, der skildrer den bogstavelige måde, hvorpå mange i autismespektret fortolker sprog. Definitionerne bagest i bogen, som svarer til mange af historierne, er nyttige for lærere, terapeuter og forældre til at undervise i almindeligt misforståede ord og idiomer.

94 historier og 74 tegneserier er skrevet af Brent og Linda Anderson og illustreret af Alan J. Lewis & Brett Bednorz.

My nephew has autism and this book finally gave our whole family a way to laugh together instead of tiptoeing around his literal way of talking. The examples are spot-on and short enough to read a few pages at bedtime. Volume 1 already has us waiting for the next one.

I bought this to share with my son's teachers and we ended up laughing out loud at the dinner table instead. The real quotes from kids and families make it feel honest rather than clinical. It's a thin volume, but the content lands.
