The punchline came from the autistic. It’s an illusion that we don’t have a sense of humor. Many times I listen to comedians think “they are just autistic and telling awkward truths that make people uncomfortable enough to laugh .”
One of the dearest, most wonderful people in my life is autistic & we laugh Every time we talk...& we do a video call nearly every morning. She is HILARIOUS &, hey, I'm a goofball, so we get up to verbal shenanigans to be sure.
What really throws NT’s for a loop is when us who often seem very sombre and solemn say something amusing. They don’t see it coming, especially with how outright blunt we can be with it, adding to the effect. A few years back, (I forgot the exact context) but an acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of “cut it” and I interjected in a deadpan manner “American doctors when a boy is born:” The look on their face was priceless. Dark or otherwise surprising humour delivered in a dry manner is something I am quite good at.
I’m autistic but my sister is neurotypical. I nickname her my “neurotypical translator and negotiator”. It saves me unneeded stress from social interactions that are difficult for me. Thankful for her.
I've helped out my autistic friend with "official" emails & stuff, like telling her what would be clearer or "properly" framed or w/e. She opens my eyes to a lot of stuff I wouldn't ever notice or consider...plus we're a couple of goofballs who laugh like ninnies a Lot, so it seems to be a good combo!
@@echognomecal6742 Your friend is fortunate to have someone like you as a friend. I wish all autistic people can have at least 1 good friendship. Cheers!
@@introvertonthespectrum I wish the same. I'm a better person & have more happiness bc of her. The perspectives she shows me & the things we share are some of the most wonderful things in my life. I do few things for her...I'm the lucky one. Have a lovely week!
As an autistic person, Who is 6' 1", 240 pounds, and broad as the side of a barn, my 5' 6" wife is my Aspie whisperer. So truly saves me from so many unwanted, social interactions by speaking for me or taking charge and I love it. This comedian killed it!
You're not as broad as a barn. 240 isn't big, and 6'1" isn't very tall, or did you mean 340? I'm 5'10" and 240, but I wear size 32 jeans and large shirts. No one would ever think of me as "broad".
@@deathtouchltd I'm not small I weigh 240 just like you. I'm just saying broad as a barn would be like 6'5" over 300. Both of my brother in laws are 6'3" and obese and have never heard anyone suggest that they are "so big". I'm just saying you're closer to average than broad as a barn.
@@aarong8457 That isn’t even remotely true for me. Just because you are small once again, I’m not small. I am well above average in size. I’m very broad in the shoulders, above average in height, and by your own account, you are not as big as me. Just because you disagree with how I described myself, doesn’t mean you are right. You don’t know me, and you have never seen me. I know exactly how big I actually am. So once again, you are wrong.
@@deathtouchltd You are slightly above small. You're medium at most. "oh, I'm big" I can barely fit through a door" No way dude. Where do you live a midget village? You just like imagining yourself as so big.
Never underestimate how strangely amusing we can be in retail spaces. I myself once walked into a petrol station to get a pie and some other things, and was dead silent up until I reached the checkout. Nobody was in the room at the time but myself and the cashier. The entire time, I had a natural sombre resting face. Then upon reaching the counter, I quoth “good eve, fair merchant! How dos’t the night find thee?” And after gathering my things, transaction completed, I yelled “QUICK! TO THE GOTHMOBILE!” And moved at great speed to my vehicle, cackling in a triumphant manner as my various flowing black clothes blew about behind me. I enjoy making people’s days just a bit more surreal now and then.
As someone on the spectrum, and an extrovert, I would have explained to the lady I'm not pregnant just like the suit. And obviously oversharing. Come the fact I have to give a due date, I wouldn't be able to buy the suit and probably have a little meltdown which looks like a panic attack. 😅 Your wife is a LEGEND😂
I’m an Aspie and have bought maternity swimsuit and bras because they’re more comfortable. You and your wife are hilarious! My whole family is on the spectrum and we call my husband, my sister in law and my brothers bestie the Cruz whisperers. Btw we all just got diagnosed in the last couple of years in our 40’s.
In all honesty though... I'd be pissed off if I *had* to share such information just for wanting to buy a bathing suit. That said, I wonder if setting the due date for 22 months later would work. 😅🐘
As an autistic person, can relate to this SO MUCH. My SO does the same stuff for me, and 100% if I had been alone in a similar situation, the communication would have gone downhill fast and I never would have figured out how to leave the store T_T Thank God for the autism whisperers out there!!!
You're wife is friggin' hilarious. I used to think I had autism (back when they called it aspergers and that was in the diagnostic statistical manual...it no longer is...). We now think I have non-verbal learning disability (which bears similarities to Aspergers).
I did actually go into a shop seen a item I liked didn’t know it was pregnant women clothes shop I was only 17 years old a woman at till asked me how many months I looked blanked at her for moment then asked what months? She replied baby. I looked puzzled then said what baby she said you pregnant aren’t you? I looked at my belly said I hope not I not done anything. She said oh sorry thought you was as your looking in pregnant women clothes shop I suddenly said oh that’s why those jeans look strange shape on waist over there. I was looking at a blouse
U are totally funny qndcthis made ne laugh Ur wife did nothing wrong but the store did by saying they need a due date cause as long as a customer is buying stuff why would they care about wether she is pregnant or not in the first place. The way the store people acted makes no sense ur wife by the way totally did but I would still feel weird accepting a basket of baby stuff even though I have non verbal learning disorder which is similar to high functioning autism. Like if the woman gave me the basket I would say no thanks so she could give it to someone who needs it for real instead of wasting it on me.
@@williamt2700 nah you're an eared person /hj- but in all seriousness, most autistic people prefer identity-first because it doesn't make out that the autism is just an accessory that can be put down, it's a part of who we are :). (ofc, I don't speak for all autistic individuals, besides idk if you're autistic yourself, I just wanted to explain this :))
why would the wife still be wearing the swimsuit at the time of checkout ? and why would she get a swimsuit that was so tight it somehow made her look pregnant. and if she wasnt fat a tight swimsuit is not gonna make her look pregnant enuf for a cash register to actually think she is gonna have a baby. and no company gives gifts to pregnant ladies . cuz everybody would be claiming they are pregnant just to get free stuff whether they looked pregnant or not.... i also never heard of this policy... and it didnt make me chuckle even once . and none of this had any relation to autism....

this is a good way to get stuff for the baby donation boxes lmao i'd have six babies due every week
That's quite a hardworking uterus you're sporting. ....v8 hemi, I presume?
Love it clean comedy

Autistic, I find this objectively hilarious. I've done similar things.
It's the best feeling when they buy it too 😂

Haha, love it 😆 very funny 👌
The aspergers whisperer, this is hilarious.
Omg I’m dying this is amazing 😂😂😂❤
Very, very nice Sir, from an autistic woman!
You're wife is friggin' hilarious. I used to think I had autism (back when they called it aspergers and that was in the diagnostic statistical manual...it no longer is...). We now think I have non-verbal learning disability (which bears similarities to Aspergers).
My wife and I are both on the spectrum, but I find that I end up as our “voice” in many social situations 😂.
I love it 😂

Sure
Is autistic people are great company and great people.
We're just people. We can be complete dickheads as well.
If you're a great listener and find quirky cute, then, yeah😂 I'm autistic btw
Where all the coments at
We lurkin
😊😁😆🤣👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
As an autistic man... I think I've just fallen in love with your wife. 😔

Anyone just here for the "as an autistic person..." comments? It's like if house cats could talk 😅
I’ll take that as a compliment.
@FringePrincess I should hope so.
I’d prefer ‘is autistic’ rather than ‘with autism’. Just like I’m not ‘a person with male-ness’, I’m male.
I prefer people give the semantics a rest, as an autistic person...on the spectrum...with autism. 🤫
So I'm a person who is ears, not a person with ears?
@@rawbabymama as an autistic person with male-ness, I agree.
