I had no idea she wrote a book. I love her humor, though! Will add it to my reading list!

The audiobook is voiced by her, if that's your medium :)
Where can I find the audiobook? Sounds very interesting, might give it a listen!
I got mine from Audible.
I see. Hoped it would be available on some platform I use but that's unfortunately not the case, so I'd rather buy the book then. Just have a hard time reading anything else than books required for my job, and then,... I already got a few book recommendations concerning autism after my diagnosis earlier this year, so it would have been easy to just listen to it :D I'll dig through her stuff on other platforms however, so thanks for the recommendation! And if there's more great books/content to share, let me know, would be appreciated!!
I usually borrow audio books from my library. You could check to see if your library has that option.
Great tip, thanks, I tend to overlook that option. My local library does offer audiobooks indeed but as I don't reside in a english-speaking country I highly doubt it would be available.
I always sing her little song she made on Taskmaster whenever I see her name, I love her!
I loved that she narrated the audio book, her accent is fantastic! I enjoyed her memoir. I don't really remember how it ended, so maybe that part could have been tightened up. I mean, she is still so young, I wouldn't expect her to have worked out a big overarching moral for her story yet. I hope she writes another as her career progresses.
This is on my list to read but if anyone wants another recommendation I am currently reading Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things by Pierre Novellie which is about his diagnosis, it is thoroughly researched and Fern Brady's quote is on the front saying how good she thinks it is.
Thanks for the recommendation!
She's brilliant 🙂
I keep forgetting to buy anything of hers though because my brain translates her name to Fern Britton, and I think of the wrong person 🙈
I know her from her appearance on 'Taskmaster'.
I can recommend watching that season.
I was heartbroken when it ended. Was a big fan of Dara already, now I love all of them.
