April fools day

Does anyone else feel like April fools day is an autist’s worst nightmare? I’ve always hated it. Why do grown adults seem to enjoy making things up (some of which could be true) just to fool others into believing it? It just seems so childish and I don’t know why people seem to enjoy it so much. I’ve fallen for so many things over the years that I just dread leaving the house on the 1st April. Here we go again!

  • To be honest, because I avoid the news headlines on the radio now as well as news online and social media generally, I rarely catch any April Fools Day gags. While some that I've found out later have been amusing (and also fairly easy to spot), others make little sense to me, perhaps because I'm not Very Online?

    Thankfully, I've never had to deal with any April Fools being played on my directly / personally.
