Amanda32 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 I have a sense of humour I tend to buy the most rude/funniest card I can see for people. I do only send it to ones I know can take it though, makes them laugh.... I sometimes dont get jokes and pretend to laugh so I dont look stupid and out of place when people tell them. My son is always laughing cannot be serious at all even when being told off. He makes fun of people that are small (dwarf) dont like that word... makes it clear that hes making fun of them and laughed at a woman with red hair (ginger) he made sure she heard him laugh to.... how embarassing. Cant take them anywhere Take care Amanda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canopus Report post Posted July 5, 2005 Do most people with AS have a quirky sense of humour and find certain things funny that shouldn't really be funny? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LizK Report post Posted July 5, 2005 Ds is only three but finds slapstick humour hysterically funny . Mind you my H is like that so maybe it's a fmaily thing Remember though picking him up form nursery last year and the nursery nurse retelling me how a child fell off a chair during tea-time, the other children looked shocked but DS found it hilarious Lx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda32 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) My son had his sports day today but missed part of it as he had to go to see the paed and they had stalls afterwards. My son lost on a game and the girl threw a mud pie into his face unexpected.. think they used whipped cream. I thought he was going to slap her... All he said was that tastes nice but you could see he was putting on a brave face, luv him. He kept complaining that he was all dirty so had to clean him up as he dont like mess and being dirty. It made his day when he was allowed to throw wet sponges at a boy..... Take care Amanda <'> <'> Edited July 7, 2005 by Amanda32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted July 8, 2005 My daughter's sense of humour is definitely offbeat. Her favourite comedy is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A further illustration: yestersday after she had been surfing the net for a while she came in and said: "Do you know that it's against the law to cross the state border of Minnesota with a duck on your head?" Ponder that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Jonathan~ Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I find certain words very funny or the way someone says something, it's their delivery I find amusing. My Mum has never understood me and will say "what are you laughing at?" That makes me feel bad and stops me laughing. I wish she wouldn't do that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
