Asperger Jokes

[Sabertooth]

I just heard that a Dr Weiz is taking up Dr. Asperger's mantle. Will we now be known as Weiz-Asperger's?

Always with the Weiz cracks...!

I have found a 5th subtype of Asperger's. It's characterized by the guy who's always gagging on his vegetables. It's called Asparagus' Syndrome.

I had a friend once who, upon finding out that I had Asperger's Syndrome, convinced herself that I was allergic to asparagus. In all fairness to her, however, she had just moved from New Caledonia (a French-speaking nation near Australia), and the French word for asparagus is "asperge".

(On a side note, she was the only one I allowed to mispronounce "Asperger's". He was an Austrian, people, and you don't have a soft 'j' sound in German! He wasn't French, and I'm not an asparagus!)

I once had a social worker/ psychiatrist who told me that I should go into stand-up comedy... Apparently she thought I was very funny, something about timing? But she only ever said this when I was complaining about how strange and annoying Neurotypicals are.

If the only time you open your mouth is to change feet... you just might be an Aspie!

I recently went to an all-day seminar/lecture by Rudy Simone, author of Aspergirls and other books. I told her a bunch of Aspie jokes. She was very grateful for the material; she likes telling jokes in her lectures, but didn't know many.

The thought occurs to me that you or someone who fancies himself a comedian could get a gig at Autism/Asperger conferences. All you need is a routine or timing if you are good at ad lib. I would love to hear a good comic Aspie act. It was suggested to me a couple times that I should write for The Big Bang Theory. The character Sheldon is based on a real person with Asperger's, but they don't say so because they would feel a responsibilty to portray Asperger's accurately.

These jokes are hilarious! But I can't think of any, which is weird because I used to be funny in what I suppose is a typical Aspie sense of humor. I think what happened was that all of my "humor" was just too mean-spirited. I'm actually kind of glad that I stopped, since it wasn't self-deprecation humor or anything, and I feel really bad for what I said about people

And I don't watch the Big Bang Theory, but my mom does. That's fine, I suppose, but I don't want everyone thinking that we're all just like Sheldon. For example, he's apparently afraid of birds. I love birds! After having so many issues with labels and identity, I just want to be a person who happens to have Asperger's, not a separate human sub-species. I'm just a person

As for jokes, I'll think of one later.
