@gray some people do it because they are assholes who think that it's funny, and some people do it sincerely because they are autistic. It used to be harder for me to tell the difference, but I'm gradually improving.

@aharoni @gray You usually see it on their faces. If they show signs of joy, then they're assholes. If they look at you dead serious they might be trained assholes, but more likely autistic.

@neoluddite @kaiserkiwi @gray yeah, well, of course, and it's that gray area that is the hardest. Different autistic people may have a different sense of humor 🤷🏻‍♂️
