Me too. Also I’ll often do the opposite where I make a joke but with no tone change to indicate it as such. People will either get mad at me for being wrong or else they will praise my brilliant deadpan humour.
yooooooo! Before I found out I’m autistic, I asked a friend if I had any toxic traits/patterns/behaviors. He said that the only thing he could think of was that quite often, people can’t tell that I’m joking. According to him, people have to get to know me for a while until they recognize my humor. If they didn’t know me, then I would come off like a complete jerk. This is probably why people would call me an “asshole” so often at parties.

haha same! Half the time I’m a comedic genius, and the other half, I look like an idiot. (ok, maybe it’s 60/40. or 5/95.)
this thread speaks to me
