My aspie teenage son absolutely loves uncyclopedia (he loves parody and sarcasm, so it's right up his alley); I'll have to see what he thinks about this.

I find it neither particularly funny nor offensive.

If someone said these things and actually meant them, that would be offensive. In this context it isn't since they are clearly not meant.

I find Asperger's one offensive but the neurotypical syndrome one is hillarious.

I think it was ok, Uncyclopedia is an equal opportunity offender so I can't I'm offended by it. I think the article on Neurotypical syndrome is funnier but I have to admit it gets stupider farther into the article. Satire has always been a favorite form of humor for me.
