Asperger humour

I have known several people with Aspergers who have made me laugh, more so than 'neurotypical' people have ever done. My dad, who has Asperger traits (but no diagnosis), has a childish and coarse sense of humour, but I always find him funny. What do you think? Are people with Aspergers more likely to find other people with Aspergers funny? Is there an Autistic comedy genre that needs to be researched? Because it is certainly not true that we lack a sense of humour. Maybe we just struggle to understand 'neurotypical' humour - I am trying not to generalise, we are all different!

  • I think aspergers is genre is..., seriously funny, the life of a wiseman, because with just serious you die of a broke heart, with just funny you are ignorant, but with seriously funny..., you laugh at others and yourself also too, joking can bring a serious message with it, a slap with a smile so to say,, the aspergers way Wink 

    I know my support worker finds me funny, I ask her why ? she just replies,, it is because you are so honest and straight when you say things. So, I reply, so you suffer from a nervous tick(laughter), watch out, watch out, Winkyou might catch tourettes.

    The bottomlineWink is.., mankind has two holes and both talk @&%! and we spend our day regurgitating what is in between both, so nothing changes.
