I was at Peter's Plateau at every job I started. I was so rubbish at one job they just made me do other things with the same job title and pay.

I can almost see why that is funny. :D


The man's a pocket calculator ;)

Not really translatable to English since the literal translation of the German word for pocket calculator would be "bag calculator" (like the bag you see on the picture). So a Taschenrechner is a) a pocket calculator and b) a person that does calculations sitting in a bag.


(edit: at least it seems to me that bags like this would not be called pockets, would they?)


Thanks for the clarification

My favourite so far! That is literally, how I think about everything, before pausing and working the correct meaning!

If you mean "An Aspie walks into a bar - literally"

It's because 'bar' has two meanings , a place where you buy drinks or a cylindrical piece of metal.

There are a lot of jokes that start with person 'x' walks into a bar ( as in they walk into a pub or drinking venue )

if you mean this spider joke

"Someone doing laundry in the basement lifts up a piece of dirty clothes and a spider runs away.

The NT - squishes the spider.
The Autistic - follows the spider and studies it.
The Aspie - follows the spider, looks at it for three minutes, then squishes it."

I believe it's just stereotyping different neurological types , it doesn't make sense to me either.

I hate to do this again, but I don't get this one.


I am not sure why the Aspie decides to squish the spider... Is it out of impulse? I do agree that I would follow the spider, study it, and probably find a way of getting the spider in a cup so that I could take him outside...

I do find the first and second one funny... The Aspie one seems more like ADHD...

Its about the spectrum of behavior.

NTs get emotional, and would get grossed out by the spider, and afraid, and immediately stomp on it.

An autistic gets fascinated and cerebral and studies the spider. And not only that, the autistic get OBSESSED with spider, and follows it around the house, and wont stop.

The Aspie is in between the two extremes. Studies the spider for a while, and gets off on it. But then gets bored, and then gets NT (or starts to worry about what is social acceptable in NT society) and THEN stomps the spider.

Left, right, and middle of the spectrum.

Dunno if this is harmless, but it is the first thing that came to my mind:


How many autistics does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five.

- One to stand in the corner and keep preoccupied thinking of her special interests.
- One to question why we need light at all, because his life is so miserable.
- One to sit and stim because of all the noise the others make.
- One to go mute and freeze because there is a girl in the room.
- And one aspie to bring a light bulb and put the f*****g thing into place.

...incidentally, there are rumors that 80% of the autistic workforce is unemployed...

True story time. There is a tablet we put in our toilets to keep the septic tank clean. It goes in once a month. So my dad tells me "Follow the instructions on the package." The instructions say, remove tablet from package, flush toilet and insert tablet on the wall of the toilet.

I removed the tablet from the package. But not the individual wrapping because the instructions didn't say that! A month later, my toilet is clogged. $50 and 5 attempts later, my parents take the toilet apart and find the tablet logged in the pipe. They said, "why is it still in the wrapper?!" I said "it said remove it from the package and insert it on the wall of the toilet..." :roll:

I really meant no harm. I wasn't trying to be funny or anything, I was just following the instructions. Now of course, every month they tell me "Remove the tablet from the WRAPPER" :lol:

Aspie: *makes joke about AS*
NT: Oh honey, you shouldn't say that, it's insensitive.
Aspie: Why?

(Sorry if this doesn't make sense or if it's a repeat)
