Are aspies less likely to joke?

Meaning, are we more serious when talking? People say a whole lot of things and usually they are joking but whenever I talk I'm always serious. What are your experiences?

My experience is I joke all the time but people often don't recognize it as joking.

I concur with Rascal77s. I also joke all the time.

BTW, is that Ted in your avatar?

the aspies in my family joke all the time. sense of humor is often different than others though so will get odd looks at times

I only really joke spontaneously; it seems to go along with my overactive imagination. Things occur to me in a lot of situations that I think are funny, and I say them whether I think others will find them funny or not. They may not always be appropriate, and most of the time I don't even realize that until after I've said them. In fact, they're one of the few things that regularly get past my rather stringent filter for appropriateness.

I joke all the time, but the delivery is entirely deadpan, so it takes some getting used to. People who don't know me usually mistake it for seriousness.

I joke all the time, but since I usually use obscure 80s/90s references, not too many people get it.

It depends, I joke when Im comfortable. But when I joke, I usually end up coming off as weird or offensive. So sometimes I just dont. When I was young, I never joked.

i have to make a conscious effort to joke. i'm naturally serious.

I usually get the laughs when i was try to be serious.

I take myself seriously so often and deliver my humor in such a(n unintentionally) deadpan way that people often mistake me for being serious during the occasional times when I am in fact joking. Might also be related to other people's tendencies to always think that I'm upset about something when I am actually just deep in thought.

nobody gets me correctly.

I joke a lot but don't talk that much.

nobody likes telling a good one more than i do.

I have my sense humor.
