Harmless Autism Jokes

Post Reply New Topic

I cried laughing the first time I heard the term "window licker". It just sounds ridiculous. I can't take offense.

Jokes that appear harmless to you are not always harmless to everyone

I like self-mockery, somewhere around the second minute i start to play

Not wanting to be the arbiter of political correctness on WP (but heck I have just awarded myself that title)

Laughing at ones own habits/behavior/impulses/compulsions is ok. Where I am from we call that self-deprecation which the English are famous for in comedy.

Laughing at jokes that make fun of other people's habits/behaviour/impulses/compulsions is ok if the group that are being made fun off are at top strata of our social hierarchy. Again in our traditions we are allowed to poke fun at the ruling class whether they be wealthy, celebrities, politicians or royalty etc etc...

However, laughing at jokes that make fun of (the above) is not ok if the group that are being made fun off are vulnerable members of society. For example laughing at an autistic person who has a compulsion to lick windows is not funny. It is cruel to both the person (particularly if it's a child) who perhaps can't help themselves and it's cruel to the parents and family of that person.

On a seperate note: the particular moment I lost respect for Donald Trump was when he ridiculed the disabled. For somebody who is the most powerful man on earth to think that disability is funny tells me he is not our friend.

Your face is hard to look at.

No, you're not ugly. I have Asperger's.

ASS-Savers

The Dutch word for Disorder is "Stoornis", so we dont use ASD but ASS

2 year ago i went to a bike-shop, and i saw some ASS-Savers. Do the ASS-savers working for my ASS i asked to the owner. He did answer with yes, but he didnt know what i was asking
The things in the shop are to protect your butt from mud and other dirt that the spining bikewheel creates.

The day we can no longer laugh at ourselves will be the beginning of the end. Obviously this is not a joke. Just an observation.

That is gross. I don't need to see feces. No one needs to see them. It's not funny at all.

"As an autistic engineer I am finding the CV19 measures difficult. The two meter spacing is especially hard. I can't wait for it to be over and I can go back to keeping people at least FIVE metres away from my personal space"

When I was younger I had a special interest in cats and used to act a lot like a cat. I used to have raptor hands to copy the way that cats would hold their paws when lying down or being picked up.
