With over 1.5 million people in the USA diagnosed with Autism, and millions of additional family members, teachers and support staff affected, Unintentional Humor is a much-needed resource to help increase awareness and improve communication challenges. The book is filled with hilarious stories and cartoons depicting the literal way that many on the Autism Spectrum interpret language. The definitions in the back of the book, which correspond to many of the stories, are helpful for teachers, therapists and parents to teach commonly misunderstood words and idioms.

94 stories and 74 cartoons are written by Brent and Linda Anderson and illustrated by 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.

Leo ★★★★★

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.
