  • Real quick, I'm autistic, and if anyone asks, I absolutely love some of these jokes. XD I found this while doing some research for a paper.

  • Point

  • I'm at my happiest point in life. I'm dating someone that's autistic, and I was just saying I needed someone special in my life.

  • Guy

  • I was 11 or 12 at the time.

    Guy (passing me): "How are you doing?" Me, an autist: "Pretty bad honestly." Guy (continued walking past me) Me: ...

    If you didn’t know, “what’s up” and “how are you doing” are phatic expressions in the United States, meaning that they’re said as greetings even though they literally mean something else.

  • Autism

  • I never knew the kid at school had autism. I always just thought he was walking into cobwebs.

  • Spectrum

  • What’s the difference between someone who is high on the spectrum [and] low on the spectrum? At least I can write this joke.

  • Autism

  • Okay, so I know this is not a joke, but I wanted to take some time to say if you have autism, you are still amazing. You are lovely in every way, and if people bully you, don't listen because they are wrong. You are cute, and I know how it feels. I have ADHD, and I get bullied a lot, but I don't let that get to me because I know what they are saying is wrong and not true. People with autism, stay strong; you got this. I will be your friend by heart, even if it's not in person.
