I thought this was funny!

I also really liked the Greek guy; (forgot his name already)- these are the types of humor I enjoy. Thanks for posting these!

Unfortunately, I couldn´t watch a lot of the other videos that were posted, for some reason....they´ve all been removed.

Don´t know really which comedians are Aspie for sure- (though I was under the impression that Dan Akroyd was diagnosed?) However, I do know that I like this type of "off" humor. I don´t like everything I see. Many things that most people find funny, I don´t think are that funny.

With some of these "Aspie-ish" comedians, I guess it´s hard to tell how much of it is really "them", and how much is their act? (For instance, Woody Allen sometimes plays Aspie-ish characters in movies, but my guess is that these characters are an exaggeration). This is why I reserve judgment....

I know from his podcast that Jim Jefferies has been diagnosed HFA, though only relatively recently.

As a university lecturer myself, I can attest that the anxiety of speaking to an audience was by far the most significant hurdle, but that passes surprisingly quickly. Being on stage, with prepared material, is an entirely different environment from being at a social gathering.
