Harmless Autism Jokes

Post Reply New Topic

Here's my horrible attempt at a joke.

A father says to his son, "Looks like the cat's out of the bag."
The son asks, "Where? The only cat I see is the only dangling for its life in the tree!"

(It's a pun on how some people of the spectrum take things literally. Also how the father is ignoring the cat.)

I've seen a couple of posts on social media regarding why you need to be specific to your husband , not neccesarily autism jokes.

"So, I asked my husband to buy six potatoes ..."



"Last night, I asked my husband to put some spaghetti on the stove so I could start dinner when I got home."



"My wife asked me to peel half of the potatoes and put them in the pot ... mission accomplished I'd say."

These are all so hilarious, as long as nobody takes them seriously and they aren't meant.

If you're Aspie and yo uknow it flap your hands.
If you're Aspie and you know it flap your hands.
If you're Aspie and you know it and your Tourette's wants to show it,
if you're Aspie and you know it flap your hands.

Comedy theorists tell me that comedy is about tragedy. Autism, being tragic in many ways, is therefore already funny, and doesn't need much enhancement to get laughs.

Mirror, mirror on the wall.

I actually learned about this in my Play Analysis class. I think it's called like Gallows Humor or something. I dunno.

Like us autistics have the right to joke about being autistic, but Allistics don't. In fact there's a whole tumblr blog in which autistics submit things that "cause autism," which kinda pokes fun at the whole "vaccines cause autism" thing. And I think it's really cool, especially when Autism $peaks is trying to tell the world we are "suffering with autism."
