'I tore through this hilarious, smart, sad, revealing book' 
Bob Odenkirk
 
'Funny, sharp and has incredible clarity'
Jon Ronson
 
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.
 
'Fern's book, like everything she does, is awesome. Incredibly funny, and so unapologetically frank that I feel genuinely sorry for her lawyers.'
