People with Aspergers usually have this kind of pained sense of humor, yes.
Because, eh, trying to communicate more “normally” leads to some people exhausting you by making you imitate more and more, thinking that’s you getting used to them, until you can’t bear that, and to other people hating you due to something being off and trying to expose you.
So opening up this way initially feels like a way to alleviate both.
Especially with relationships. Especially since everyone has preferences and tastes too, just other ways of expressing them. If you can’t play the game they consider subtle, you can’t. Honesty sometimes works, pained humor too, pretense - unsustainable.
Actually hilarious if its a joke, the details of the text.
I’m gonna be optimistic and say it’s a gag. If not… holy shit.
I also saw it as a joke… Now, whether or not wearing a joke shirt like that is acceptable? I’m not so sure lmao It’s just EXTREMELY poor taste.
But if it isn’t a joke… 😳
