I quite literally have no ability to decipher whether I'm being made fun of or not, unless it's a direct insult

when the normgroid pokes fun at the autist, the autist stares absently into the distance

when you sit down and really have a ponder about this, its more of a blessing than a curse

thinking back to middle/high school even my teachers would take figurative jabs at me for the class's entertainment and id just stare at them blankly, with a smile and nod my head

this is the plight of having a high concentration of neanderthal dna (they were higher iq (autistic) than their homo sapien counterparts) in a homo sapien world

There are many aspects of Neanderthals that are reminiscent of autism. They preferred to live in very small groups that had little or no contact with each other, they had a significantly larger occipital lobe which gave them greater visual and pattern-recognising abilities, and they were less social than Homo sapiens (‘We have a social brain, whereas Neanderthals appear to have a visual brain’ - Clive Gamble). They had larger brains, came up with original solutions to problems they faced (see the paragraph on inventions) and smoked and dried meat which they probably stored to live on until the next herd of big game came along, corresponding to the common autistic trait of hoarding.
