As a girl growing up in the 90s, everyone seemed to know Rebecca had Autism Spectrum Disorder, except for her! And her parents! However, one thing was crystal clear: she had no idea how to “act normal.” This hour of standup comedy will cover Rebecca's hilarious lifelong struggle to adapt, including at one point literally googling “how to act normal” and landing on the pinnacle of the ‘00s internet: WikiHow. If you've ever felt a little bit socially awkward, whether or not you have ASD (or if you’re still searching for that elusive diagnosis), this show is for you.
The show will also feature host Gabe Pacheco (SiriusXM, Caroline's)
