I read a statistic earlier that claims that babies laugh 400 times a day, and adults on average 13. That might be true or false, it doesn't matter really. I'd like to know how many times you all laugh per day, and whether you feel you laugh more or less than average, and whether you think autism affects that number.

I think I laugh far less often than most 'normal' people. I laughed once today, for example.

Depends on how I feel really, sometimes I laugh too much, sometimes not enough. On a normal day at school I'll laugh with my friends but not really know why I laughed.

Depends, I spent all morning yesterday laughing cause I was with my friend Amy, then I watched Tosh.0 on demand so I laughed a lot. I have yet to laugh once since I've woken up however and it's likely to stay that way unless I turn on the TV.

Anywhere between 1-30 depending on my mood is my guess :lol:

I don't laugh that often, only a couple of times a day at most. My lifestyle has a lot to do with that.

I said 15-30. I've never counted, but I laugh at many things throughout the day.

This is an interesting poll, Moog, I never thought about how much I laugh before. I guess... I laugh 5 to 15 times a day. It varies from one day to the next with me too. I love to laugh and have fun. But I have a very quiet serious side as well. That's when I want to be alone and left with my thoughts. :)

It depends if I'm with people or not. If I'm spending my days alone I don't laugh so much. If I'm with people I don't know very well, I don't laugh so much. If I'm with people I'm comfortable with, I laugh a lot more. Probably about 15-30 times when I'm with people. I've never counted.

I voted 5-15, as it doesn't take much to make me laugh usually. It largely depends on the number of silly videos and images that circulate at work or on Facebook that day:

I have no idea, but I voted the highest number because I laugh alllll the time. I'm laughing right now at something....I've been laughing all day....I laugh at posts here....I love humor and find it in everything. :lol:

Whoops. Laughing again...(seriously).

It depends on my mood. Some days I feel very cheerful and silly, and I'll laugh at every little thing, like 15 - 30 times. Some days I feel very quiet and serious, so I'll only laugh about 1 - 5 times. Most days are somewhere in between.

:lol: That brightened my day! It looks a little like one of my cats and I could totally get him to do that.

Cats are highly entertaining. Having three of them definitely adds to the number of times I laugh in a day.
