Why people recommend it

Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things? by Pierre Novellie is a humorous and introspective exploration of living with undiagnosed and later diagnosed autism, examining the peculiar frustrations and systemic exhaustion of the neurodivergent experience. During an episode of Modern Wisdom titled "“My Autism Keeps Upsetting People” - Vittorio Angelone - #1119" released on July 4, 2026, guest Vittorio Angelone recommended the book while discussing literature written by comedians about adult autism diagnoses. Angelone specifically referenced Novellie's work alongside other comedic memoirs on the subject, emphasizing its relevance to understanding the daily hurdles faced by neurodivergent individuals. The mention provided listeners with an engaging and relatable perspective on neurodivergence, blending sharp observational comedy with genuine psychological vulnerability. Through this recommendation, Angelone highlighted how comedic writers are uniquely positioned to articulate the absurdities and emotional tolls of trying to navigate a neurotypical society without realizing one's own neurological differences until adulthood.
