I dated a lady I met in an autism support group. We had both been recently diagnosed, so you can imagine that autism was all we talked about. One of our things was to humorously point out all the things we do that are autistic since we were so oblivious of our traits until that point. We actually had a lot of fun doing this. Anyway, she often pointed out how I reliably answered rhetorical questions, even when they were supposedly obviously not meant to be answered. I just didn’t want her to feel dismissed. 🤷♂️
Same! I do a few things like that. If someone makes a pun which people laugh at, I don’t force myself to find it funny; I just look at the person and then smile inside while people try to explain it to me- no, I get it, it’s just not actually funny or clever to me, but listening to people try to explain why something should be funny is amusing.
