Con más de 1,5 millones de personas diagnosticadas con autismo en Estados Unidos, y millones de familiares, maestros y personal de apoyo adicionales afectados, Unintentional Humor es un recurso muy necesario para ayudar a aumentar la conciencia y mejorar los desafíos de comunicación. El libro está lleno de historias divertidas y caricaturas que representan la forma literal en que muchas personas en el espectro autista interpretan el lenguaje. Las definiciones al final del libro, que corresponden a muchas de las historias, son útiles para maestros, terapeutas y padres para enseñar palabras y modismos comúnmente malinterpretados.

94 historias y 74 caricaturas están escritas por Brent y Linda Anderson e ilustradas por Alan J. Lewis y Brett Bednorz.
