I think most people have a sense of humor. It can be hard sometimes to laugh when life is hard. But yea, most people have something they find funny. It's more to find your own sense of humor. I was told when I was a kid I had no sense of humor because I didn't find standard humor especially funny. But I do have a sense of humor, sometimes it even annoys people, because I joke around too much. I think I have a typical aspie sense of humor, a lot is based on language and visuals. If someone says youdon't have a sense of humor, don't believe them.

I had to be taught humor by my parrents giving me all kinds of joke books....
At about 14 it clicked...I do get my humor from watching hours of the 3 stooges reruns as a kid.

I love phsyical comedy....and will often do a pun at the most unexpected momement.
I am a cheeze ball at heart

I often laugh when I should cry....thats my Irish heritage

No, people are on earth to make us laugh not the other way around.
