À propos de cet audio

With acerbic wit and a hilarious voice, Shane Burcaw's Laughing at My Nightmare describes the challenges he faces as a 21-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy. From awkward handshakes to having a girlfriend and everything in between, Shane handles his situation with humor and a "you-only-live-once" perspective on life. While he does talk about everyday issues that are relatable to teens, he also offers an eye-opening perspective on what it is like to have a life threatening disease.

As someone living with a moderate physical disability I often use strange humor to deal with my situation. It was nice to listen to someone else who could laugh about it and keep a positive attitude. Your positive attitude is inspiring!

Humorous and Positive

My daughter was Diagnosed with SMA type One in July she is receiving Spinraza and she turned a year one yesterday.

Since finishing this book I feel a lot better about her future. Put a lot of stuff into perspective for me.

Although I really enjoyed his other book more, this was still a really good read. It makes you think and at the same time it also makes you laugh. I found some of the info was repetitive but understand why it was included in both books. It was an enjoyable read.

My only gripe is this... If "we", the public, never get how to approach you right, then what is an acceptable way to approach or ask questions? I get that assuming things about you is wrong and annoying. I get that treating you like a toddler is ridiculous. I get that approaching you with money in hand for what ever reason is wrong. Then please tell me, what is acceptable? I truly believe that most people, although at times are seriously misguided, have nothing but compassion for and want to wish people with more than their share of daily struggles, best wishes and may want to help by buying dinner etc. I just want to know, for young kids with questions or people with only good intentions, what is the right way to approach?

Thanks for an insightfu & enjoyable l listen!

Good book, but I preferred "Strangers think my..."

Loved this book! An easy listen full of humour and fascinating stories about the everyday, and not so everyday struggles in Shane’s life. Definitely recommend!

Lighthearted, funny

I would highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading. This author has a wonderful way with words. I immediately bought his second book as soon as I finished this one. I really hope more books are in his future.

What an incredible writer.
