   Absolutely. They tend to be binary -- yes or no, right or   
   wrong, *This* means *That*. Very little nuance and by very   
   little I mean none at all. Sarcasm is lost on them, because   
   you're stating [A] but meaning [B] and [B] always means   
   [B].   
      
   Why this is so horrible is that they know this. You can   
   sit down someone on the spectrum and spell it all out to   
   them, and they can absorb every word then turn around and   
   never so much as doubt their over rigid, black & white   
   world because it "Feels" right.   
      
   THAT is what makes it annoying!   
      
   Someone doesn't "Get" sarcasm? Who cares. But even if you   
   explain the sarcasm to them they'll reject it because that's   
   not what it means!
