Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism Quotes

“If the majority of the population were autistic, we would've had cruel research into why these damn non-autistics are so unempathetic; they force small talk upon others, they eat smelly food on the train, and they force everyone to constantly look them in the eyes. Truly, the behaviour of egomaniacs.”

“Often when people react to new information about autism they end up accidentally correctly pointing out evidence of autism as opposed to evidence of its absence. They end up like someone throwing up their arms in frustration and saying, ‘Oh! So I suppose this means everyone at the Trainspotters’ Guild could be autistic? Next, you’ll be telling me that all my shy friends in the university maths department are autistic too!’ My friend, the odds are good.”
