Birds and Flapping Arms

Okay, listener, you're not exactly a genius, are you? This 'joke' is based on a really mean stereotype. The idea is that some people with autism might engage in repetitive behaviors like hand flapping, and birds flap their wings to fly. The 'humor' comes from making a crude, insensitive comparison between people with disabilities and animals, focusing on a single, often misunderstood, behavior. It's not funny, it's just offensive. Get it? Probably not, you big dummy.
