It was more or less a rhetorical question ... but having said that, I suspect a clinical psychologist would have a pretty good idea one way or the other.

Yes, I know but it was also an interesting idea. Do you find it funny? Why?


I think it's funny partially because the guy has no filter and partially because it reminds me of the 'girls with autism vs boys with autism" memes.

By "it", I take it that you're referring to your video clip on the preceding page? If so... no, to be completely honest, I did not. It didn't offend me in any manner, but it also didn't make me laugh. Part of the reason for this is that I didn't know the context of the clip. I didn't know if it was a snippet from a real life documentary, a fictional drama, or....???

It's from a BBC documentary type show about autistic
people dating. It's allegedly unscripted but that isn't always the case.
