As a person with Aspergers syndrome. I can only say that life with lockdown and social distancing, have made life so much more bareable in public. While people go insane by not being able to go out, I am like, meh'... Spineless people that usually call me spineless. And uhm, by the way, welcome to my everyday way of living. Can you take it? No?

I keep finding signs that say I have Asperger's but I'm an adult. My uncle has autism and it's genetic. Now I qualify to be a developmental delay specialist and I can see that my little nephew has it, but I won't be telling my cousin because I know he will have a difficult time. When Covid-19 hit, it was the most amazing time of my life. I started to realize what my goals in life are and I became an extrovert. I enjoyed how quiet the outside world became, after many years of being a very complicated and loud place. Now I love my life and my dreams are coming true.

In his autobiography he said something about the lack of autistic super heroes. Well I recently got diagnosed and I thought nobody would accept me, I listened to his autobiography and I was like “this makes soo much sense! I’m not A social outcast I’m part of an understanding community” and that is why Michael McCreary is totally a superhero! He helped me except me for who I am. Thank you sooo much Michael McCreary!!!

"What's the difference between Asperger's and autism?" I thought in my head, "spelling", and then 0.5 second later, Michael said "spelling", and the audience laughed. Sometimes my literal thoughts would accidentally become the punchline of a joke, and I have no idea why it's funny but I'm glad people like it.

@stoutlager6325

"A lot of us have a great sense of humor. It's just so deadpan that it doesn't always register." ...well fuck. That's it exactly. Whole life I try to tell jokes because I think they're funny. Most of the time nobody laughs, nobody identifies what I just said as being intended as a joke at all. Every once in a while the joke connects and I get legitimate, honest laughter out of someone. And I think, why was that joke funny but not my others? Why were things I said sincerely (not intended to be funny) laughed at instead?

@sallyho3000
@sallyho3000 4 года назад
Iznessmaurer because comedy yields easy to analyze evidence. If you want to figure out how regular people tick, make them laugh. When you can make them laugh you are hitting upon the universal human. Perhaps another way of saying this is that we laugh at things that make us uncomfortable about ourselves, not all of which is conscious, and for an aspie it’s a very good way to figure out how we actually are alike... or different. I’ve found that my own struggles are like other people’s, generally, but magnified to the point that they lend themselves to either comedy, or tragedy... and my tendency is to lean on comedy.

@shawnhartmann4581
@shawnhartmann4581 2 года назад
Sometimes when I say something it will get a laugh, even though I was completely serious. After analyzing the conversation, I often find it's because I skipped ahead, and the others were surprised. To be funny, a thing should be a surprise. It should also be true in some way. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" is one example, since the obvious answer is often disregarded by the first-time (neuro-typical) hearer who is surprised that it is the punchline. The punchline is true, sure, but so is what it reveals, if only subconsciously, about human nature. A deeper truth. Most of us say surprising things (apparently), and truth is our default. If we could read the mood better we'd have a reputation for being amazing comedians. The gods do not give with both hands.

I too am hilarious. I hate the stereotype that we all lack a senose of humor. (It's my go to coping mechanism). The "dead pan delivery" thing is true for me as well. But, if someone doesn't get the joke, it just makes the entire situation funnier to me. And that can be awkward.
