Being autistic teaches me quite a bit about what passes for
witty banter, and you guys aren't half as witty as you think you are. Really.
Do you have any idea how often playing along with a sarcastic comment because
you didn't know it was sarcastic passes for further sarcasm? If how many times
I manage a conversation for that way
with no one realizing that I had no clue they were being sarcastic until
several minutes in is any indication, the answer is almost always. Answering
rhetorical questions honestly passes for sarcasm even more reliably than acting
as if you were serious passes for playing along.

Note For Anyone Writing About Me
Guide to Writing About Me
I don't like Autism Speaks. I'm Disabled, not differently abled, and I am an Autistic activist. Self-advocate is true, but incomplete.
