Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?
Richard talks to comedian Pierre Novellie about his fabulous book (and guide book) about autism, Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things? They chat about Richard's disappointment of his pretty regular test scores, why people react badly or suspiciously towards people with autism and ADHD, why Richard is better than Isaac Newton, why Pierre wanted the book to be different than the excellent stand up show of the same name, how this whole project started with a heckle, why it's OK to be obsessed with pop music or sport but not Byzantine history, how the book will be helpful for autistic and non-autistic people alike and how the cover art was chosen!
