Quote:Bingo. That happens all the time here because people don't understand my thoughts and feelings about jokes, sarcasm, etc. The opposite happens too: I try to be nice but for some reason people think I am not. It is a symptom of Asperger's. I was permanently banned from a pet loss support chat room for saying what moderators deemed inappropriate comments and all I was trying to do was help people who recently lost their cats and dogs.

some don't understand that a person with AS does not recognize sarcasm as other people do, and some jokes are also lost on people with AS as well because your brain doesn't really understand sarcasm and most "talk" text and conversations are all taken at face value...People with AS read things and they understand what they read and take it as they read it at face value and the same goes for what they hear...So when scarcasm is thrown at them, they don't catch it, all they understand is what the words say and mean without any premise behind them...
