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!                            --       https://jtem.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20Book%20of%20JTEM/page/5              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
