They take everything literally. You tell a joke, and instead of laughing, they analyze the veracity of the statements in the jokes. I see that lots here at Minichan.

Yes, you do take everything literally. Someone tells a joke about you, and you cry to mods demanding it be taken down.
I see that a lot by you on Minichan.

All jokes should be made in Vocaroos so we can hear the tone of voice.

Autists also always assume people are obsessed.

Autism sufferers don't understand tone of voice. That's why their own voices always sound flat and robotic.

Have you heard the one about kilts? I don't remember how it goes, but the punchline is "the bagpiper got hit by a car".
